I'm afraid I'll need to switch instances. My connection to my current instance, mstdn.social, is getting throttled. I've tried a lot of things, hoping to resolve the issue. I've also reached out to my admin and learned that everything seems okay from their end. I believe this issue to location-related (my ISPs here seems to have blocked the access). Perhaps something went amiss when my instance had its recent IP/domain issues.
😭😭😭
