Hi there! I've been trying to improve the situation for the past few hours. I managed to disable CF Protection, and as you can see, I'm gradually allowing traffic from the fediverse. There may still be delays in deliveries and posts for some time. If anything is particularly troublesome, please let me know through the contact form. Sorry for the temporary blackouts. New possibilities have emerged, which I'd like to discuss with you soon. Now I need a few hours for a nap, shower, and I have to grab something to eat because I can't survive on bananas only :P

And look at this!

Just please be understanding towards the new admins. This is still a prototype, and what we're doing here is meant to yield results in the future. I'm doing everything I can to get back to patching critical things in the code as quickly as possible. Have fun! :)

Oooh and You can send me your domain name ideas via pm.

I don't think it's fair to compare large instances existing to fully centralized platforms. I think there is a place for both large and small servers, we need both.

I love the potential I see in the Fediverse and its underlying technology, but I feel like a lot of people here have a hard time accepting that this is genuinely pretty confusing to the average non-techie. Anything we can do to reduce friction and have a recommended entry point for the average casual Twitter/Reddit refugee is a good thing.

It's not like small instances are gonna go away for those that want them. The true beauty of the Fediverse is that we can please everyone.
