Tweeter got some balls, good luck to the new crew.

Got my own instance up and running @ https://zuul.no if anyone is interested
Also looking for a co-admin that could step in and help in case I am unavailable and something breaks. Moderators would also be pretty helpfull in case the instance starts to grow (which it might if twitter continues to fall apart and people are seeking asylumn elsewhere).
Have a look at this post, before you run into trouble with your instance: https://digitalcourage.social/@crsch...12294621477242
Fun fact: sharing this link on Mastodon caused my server to serve 112,772,802 bytes of data, in 430 requests, over the 60 seconds after I posted it (>7 r/s). Not because humans wanted them, but because of the LinkFetchWorker, which kicks off 1-60 seconds after Mastodon indexes a post (and possibly before it's ever seen by a human).
Every Mastodon instance fetches and stores their own local copy of my 750kb preview image.

Why is it called earth, when it is mostly water???
That 40b they got for twitter will pay for a lot of servers.
technology can’t solve economic and political problems
Basically all the money went to the shareholders and investors. That was why they were prepared to take legal action to force Musk to go ahead with the takeover: it was the only way to get out with a sack of money as twitter couldn't turn a profit.
Musk has decided to now go after Apple for suppressing free speech, the same Musk who has been having people banned for hurting his feelings lol
