That is nonsense. DNS is a federated system and my servers are authoritative for my domain.

I’ve been running my own DNS for like two decades on a random ass IP
It’s so easy to run your own DNS servers, I don’t expect that it’ll be offline long, unless it’s the registrar.
Yeah, a couple days of temporary spike does not a wave make.
Mastodon (and the Fediverse) tends to see “scalloped” growth: big increases, followed by gradual declines. Every time Musk does something dumb, you see days or weeks of increased signups. Then the new users fall off, and they become inactive. Usually, it stabilizes a little higher than the last wave.
The waves come in, and the tide rises. The weather passes over, but the climate stays stable (or increases).
If Twitter collapses, then the tsunami arrives. :P
Well. It is and it isn’t. It’s per hour. So per day (24^1) that’s 48000 (48*10^3) and per year it’s 17532000 (1.7*10^7). That adds up pretty fast, a 100% increase in the full year.
Plus, hey, new friends!
It does start at zero. 2000 people per hour
It really does feel a lot like the old forums are back, but now they can talk to each other. This should have happened a decade ago!
Nebula is a creator run coop, I believe. I’m happy to pay for that, and do.
