@esp Same on all counts, here.

I still prefer to say I'm bisexual over anything else, even though that has less meaning since I came out as genderfluid.

Strange...

@cassolotl Yep, that's truscum alright. Gatekeeping transfolk and denying enbies.

@TonicBH isn't funky stars what got mixed with space jam for shut up & jam gaiden? the name sounds familiar

@kobold *hugs tightly*

Sorry if I seem kind of... emotionally distant for a bit.

I didn't really think this would hit as hard as it did.

He passed at 7:33 PM (EST) last night.

@Gargron Yeah, but I'm the weirdo who runs Apache and not nginx

It just turns out that Apache's max workers was set really low and I kept hitting it, despite being nowhere near out of resources on my box

But thanks anyway <3 I'll keep that in mind if I do switch at some point

Getting mentioned by @Gargron is the ActivityPub version of the slashdot effect

@kit nah, just some really low default limits in apache apparently

I'm playing the catch-up game because Eugen tooted at me and it crashed my server, lol

Great, my 2000th toot is me ranting on Mastodon stuff lol

I jumped on Mastodon because the thought of being able to run everything myself and still interact with everyone I knew was a huge plus.

...but, I realize this is a rare train of thought. Most people don't want to invest their time in running everything themselves.

And then there's some who just want to communicate with others and don't care about federation or instances or all of that, they just want something that works.

None of these viewpoints are wrong.

If you ask me, there should always be a default, "safe" answer to "what instance should I use?"

Having choice and freedom is a good thing, but for some that very choice is overwhelming.
