Yes, and I wonder if midwest.social has been having the same problems documented here:

We're all dangling from the whiskers of some true power admins, pros running instances from home and carefully chosen cloud server racks, and yet when thousands of users throw themselves at an open source project, shit happens. Ruud and his peers probably understand what all that was, I certainly don't.
My sympathies are with everyone who picked up the promise of the Fediverse, and hosted their own thing without 10 years of experience as a professional server admin. The nature of this place is that things might break, and somebody won't be able to look at it until they come home from work. My patience is long, here.
