They’re about to launch a second flagship server to relieve some of the stress on p.s. It sounds like it’ll be in the next day or two (but you never know with them).

Might be a good option if you’re still having trouble when they fire it up.

The server’s getting hammered today for sure. People on the server are posting at a rate of 5 posts per second. It’s wild.

Registrations are open though. The local timeline is filled with first posts from accounts created today.

Just $500 from their funding goal! 🎉

Edit: goal met!

I don’t think that it can just be declared satisfied, though. I imagine Google and Apple’s obscenely top-shelf representation will be like, “this has about this much legal merit”:

But who knows! :)

as long as 90 days if a path to a qualified divestiture has been identified, “significant” progress has been made to executing the divestiture, and legally binding agreements for facilitating the divestiture are in place.

My point is that no path has been identified, no progress has been made, and nothing is in place.

I’m curious whether “can probably get away with it” is enough for them. And whether they’ll take the risk for no reward whatsoever in the case of Apple and Google.

I’m way more interested in the reactions of Google, Apple, Oracle, and the dozens of other corporations ByteDance depends on.

The “90-day extension” Trump keeps talking about has no basis in law except to conclude an in-process divestment, which currently doesn’t exist. He can order the law not to be enforced, but you’re still breaking the law. It’ll interesting to see if those companies are willing to along with an executive order their counsel knows is illegal or are willing to knowingly break the law under the promise they won’t be prosecuted (for now).

edit: IANAL
