@masklayer Those big containers of sugar?

It ain't sugar

@ElfLord I'm pretty sure everyone involved wants to forget that one

@squirrel I've got absolutely no musical talent, can come along as a roadie though!

Well, the GOP certainly isn't happy with her

@TheGibson @sungo the two instances that closed signups were mentioned in a twitter thread that was apparently widely shared on Brazilian twitter

I'm pretty sure none of the new people even looked at joinmastodon.org

Okay, mass on-boarding of users into the fediverse as a whole could probably be improved...

@TheGibson @sungo the rumour mill is that that's why it's broke

too many people trying to sign up

I've seen two other instances that have had to close signups due to load

@Jo mastodon.social is still down, it got hit by what I believe was a whole lot of people wanting to sign up

@HTHR@cybre.space I'm still not sure if you're talking about McAfee the software or the person

@Jo tootplanet got mentioned on twitter and half of brazil decided to turn up

this was after something happened and the influx crashed mastodon.social

@kibi it does https://mastodon.social/

if that shows an error message, it's borked

@noelle oooooohhhh, so that's what's going on

@squirrel *cuddles robit*

@squirrel *yelled from the enby enclave* YEAH YOU SUPER ARE
