There is a status page that tracks the downtime, it’s not totally detailed but gives a bit of information about the problem they’re dealing with. The last 2 days of logs are particularly bad 14+ hrs of partial downtime.

I’ve been going to sh.itjust.works. You can find a list of other instances here as well.

They were getting hit with a lot of DDoS attacks a week or two ago, that may still be going on. Also they took off faster than most instances so a lot of this is just growing pains.

many people have been bailing from the server

That’s not a bad thing, the content is shared between instances so you can get it on the other sites too. People going to other sites will hopefully help balance the load and possibly help with the growing pains. I haven’t created an account on another instance yet, but I’ve been visiting other instances when .world goes down.

I wish farts would replace people, imagine just being floating sentient stink clouds.

Curious if he sold it to twitter, I can’t imagine parting with a single character domain for free.

I wonder how much x.com cost to purchase, or if it was just a domain twitter/Musk had lying around.

Interesting warning I got when loading the image…

I worked as a landscaper just after high school and while working on a flower bed behind an apartment I stepped directly on a yellow jacket nest. Before I realized what had happened there were yellow jackets in my pant leg. I was stung well over 100 times. I was allowed to take the rest of the day off.

I feel so lucky. My dog rarely barks. I can leave him outside and nothing. If the back door latches and he can’t get back in he’ll give a couple barks to alert me. He occasionally barks when we get deliveries, but that’s really rare.

Check your local laws, but in most places you can call and report dogs that are barking at night. You can also usually report a dog that is barking constantly for 15min or more during the day.

Possible Baader–Meinhof phenomenon. The real fun one is if this is your first time hearing of the phenomenon and you see it again in the next couple days.
