A lot of people came to Mastodon temporarily today due to a short-lived outage on Twitter for a bit of time, with large servers including mstdn.jp and pawoo.net being heavily loaded at once, clogging the queues of many servers through the coalition. In no time at all, many of the servers exceeded their capacity.
At fedibird.com, 7,000 jobs piled up in the queue.
@centi In Japan, only mstdn.jp and pawoo.net are well known to Twitter users. The number of users is also skewed. There are also a few known servers that specialize in specific games and vocaloids, but this is not a general purpose audience. I'd like to have a more distributed situation.
