I can’t believe I panic bought this barrel of oil last night for $117 and it’s already back down to $85 today.

availability took a hit today, but now that things have stabilized: - we now have full IPv6 support - we have restored full HTTP/2 support, and added support for QUIC (HTTP/3) Side note: when manually set your DNS TTL to 30 and your automation sets it up to 3600 and then changes your IP addresses to load balancers that aren’t fully configured without you knowing, frustration is inevitable.

@slyborg@vmst.io the official shows up in daily batches but it's updated for the current data throughout, so in this case it should be reflective of what the latest it last saw. FediDB, I can't figure out how that's so high, I wonder if there is a batch process broken somewhere because the total active across all platforms on the site is currently lower than what their API is reporting just for Mastodon. 🤔 Also if you do a sanity check on the per-server list there's nothing that would kick it over so high.

How many Mastodon instances are there? How many active users are there? Depends on where you look and how you count. Quick sanity check across datasources... vmcrawl

Instances: 9,226 MAU: 787,574 joinmastodon.org

Instances: 7,952 MAU: 780,355 FediDB

Instances: 9,193 MAU: 1,037,321 (Based on 20 Feb 2026 API data for all sources) The world, may never know.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Meyerweb/116065151451468199 “My brother in Chromium”

Quoting

Eric A. Meyer @Meyerweb@mastodon.social

I saw yet another “CSS is a massively bloated mess” whine and I’m like. My dude. My brother in Chromium. It is trying as hard as it can to express the totality of visual presentation and layout design and typography and animation and digital interactivity and a few other things in a human-readable text format. It’s not bloated, it’s fantastically ambitious. Its reach is greater than most of us can hope to grasp. Put some *respect* on its *name*.
