What specifically do you mean by "mostly just doesn't work"?

  Pretty much all instances are having massive issues keeping up with the new traffic.

    I've had pretty much no issues, but the (10k user) instance I've been on has been closed to new user registration except by invite (from any existing user) the whole time this twitter thing has been happening. Generally I'd assume that any big open instance is going to have scaling pains right now, but not all instances.

      I wonder if Mastodon can even scale because of the federation. When I tried running Matrix server, joining any large federated Matrix servers made the server unusable and it had to be stopped. I am not saying it will be the case with Mastodon but I would not be surprised.

  I couldn't finish sign-up because the servers seem overwhelmed (confirmation email) But I'm wondering how something like Mastodon could scale to people having millions of followers.

    Pleroma does what Mastodon't.

      "neither GS nor Pleroma itself was born out of malice. It’s just where the people who’ve always been stirring up shit go."
