I'm completely ok with this happening, it is to be expected with a project of this magnitude.
Be prepared, have a second account on another instance.
What I find strange is the absence of communication. This is the third day with major issues and I haven't seen an announcement. Or even just people talking about it? Nothing (until now). I might have missed it all, but I used the search function with no luck
I agree completely, and posted this question from an alternate account. The admins have been so transparent, the silence on this issue seems really weird. Even the posts on the instance status site are relatively cryptic. I posted this question because it's frustrating not knowing what's going on.
