I've been trying to fix the CPU issues with the database for weeks now and I felt I had gotten close. I ran these migrations manually and the delete query deleted somewhere around 400k rows. Somehow that I've been monitoring the CPU for about an hour now and it seems to be behaving. It would spike when I upvoted anything and stay there a while. I don't want to jinx it but try out the site and let's see if it stays responsive.

My deepest apologies for the downtime and the irritating slowness of the instance since you all joined.

I figure I'll wait a few weeks to try to apply/reapply to your instance. I tried to apply once and ended up with the spinning circle, no idea if my application went through. I just blocked my first exploding heads group and I hate being federated with them and Burggit (I don't have NSFW enabled so I haven't seen any of their stuff but still), but... shit just works here. In a few weeks I figure the growing pains will be sorted out and it'll be easier to move to another instance. Thanks for all of your hard work maintaining your instance, joining in via federation has been great.

If you tried to sign up before Wednesday at noon the site was barely usable.
