solarbirdSo earlier this week, I decided to set up automated edits on every post to fire off this weekend. I needed to turn off pingback/trackback to shut off a big spam vector.
Then as it started chugging through all the many thousands of entries here, Friday’s new post alerting HHS workers to firing shenanigans went absolutely bonkers viral.
(Hello, 160,000+ exposures!)
This means ActivityPub is now stupidly far behind on federation tasks and I’m not even sure new posts are going to federate out. Some of my replies from last night still haven’t.
Hopefully it’s not as bad as it looks, and this will propagate fine. LET’S FIND OUT!
(If you see this, please do not boost it. NO boosting this please. DO NOT BOOST THIS. It’ll just add to the server load. But a reply would be fine. Thanks!)
At least it’s a holiday weekend, right? Technically. President’s Day. Sure, that’s a holiday. lol.
