    it sent out about 700,000 kill messages to inform other instances that it had federated with that it was going offline for good, and to delete all record of it from their databases. Around 25% of these were returned undelivered because the instances had simply dropped offline.

    It’s amusing that the person complaining about these instances “failing” linked to a site that itself has “failed” and is now “for sale”.

    There are always “the sky is falling” posts by people that feel everything they are no longer in love or becomes slightly difficult with is “failing”. I don’t understand why these people always think others are going to care about their opinions on the subject at all. It makes me wonder if these people yell “I’M LEAVING” every time they exit a room.

      Yes, yes they do. I know several people who feel the insufferable need to loudly announce that fun can commence because they’re now here, and that fun should stop, because they’re now leaving.

      …I really really try to avoid them.
