To the newcomers to the fediverse. Don’t let the last few days or even the next few be your only impression on this. When we all came over from twitter it was a shit show and nothing worked right because everything was overwhelmed. Give it a few days. It’ll get better.
I hope you are right, so far it’s pretty clunky. I am here either way, as going back does not appear to be an option. However, the fediverse updating is taking on way more resources than I think the owners of these instances thought. Ours is updating with x5 more servers. I suspect that will help.
