Vivaldi Social Mastodon Social Downtime Incident
Thomas Pike, on his blog:
A bug in the code combined with an ill-advised database configuration caused 198 user accounts to be merged to a single remote account. An entire weekend was spent finding the cause and fixing the damage caused.
Great rundown of a ruined weekend because of a service incident. Appreciate the sections where the Mastodon team helped — even when it became clear it wasn’t a Mastodon bug.
