Yes, it's acting like I'm a completely new user. All of my tweets are gone, although 'reactions' are still there. A major outage at 10PM PST is not fun :\ sorry Twitter ops.

Neither is the time of year. The few remaining staff will be recovering from Xmas parties just before the long Christmas weekend if not already on holidays.

I heard the remaining staff were all entirely 110% hard core though ...

It might seem obvious, but I'd like to highlight that this illustrates another benefit of a distributed system like Mastodon. Even if one of the Mastodon servers goes down, the others will continue to function.
