Thank you to all that joined our "All-Hands" call. We had something like 16 people on the call.

We looked through logs, statistics, poured over postgres man pages, and made some changes.

While those changes made the database grow to our storage limit (causing its own issues), we added some space and the database is recovering.

I think all of us are hopeful that come the morning, we see an appreciable improvement to performance.

Thank you to everyone that has reached out - I have some outstanding emails I need to return yet, but I'm feeling a lot better tonight. — Thank you to all that joined our "All-Hands" call.

My dedication to our community remains steadfast. I've travelled this country with the hopes of networking and growing the fediverse and our community.

However I've begged for help in exactly this area for as long as Elon has owned Xitter. I've begged our community for folks to step up to create a society.

Yet no one has stepped up. We've all had to figure this technical shit out on our own, in our own silos, and it seems no one wants to share their knowledge.

My sleepless nights of dealing with databases, and endless hours of googling is really starting to wear on me.

24 hours ago I asked for some help and it went to deaf ears. I'm doing everything I can but I'm really starting to burn the candle on both ends.

This is the problem with where we're at with the fediverse. We have people bending over backwards and there's no rescue boat in sight when they need help.

If we truly want to build community, we do it together.

At what point is my cup empty? There's 36,000 people here.
