Wait till Gargron wakes up
Check your backups
Use your second Mastodon / Pleroma / calckey / honk / Bonfire account to continue

And thanks for the heads up.

The instance has too many people registered. It has ~27% of all Mastodon's monthly active users.

A huge part of the network was down. People should be encouraged to migrate to smaller instances, so we can have better decentralization.

They seem to be back up now (for me at any rate), but apparently their ISP was having network issues.
