Riding along, I saw thick smoke filling the sky. Sirens started going off everywhere.
I had to pull my car over three different times to let fire trucks rush past. An apartment building was burning right before my eyes, the smoke burned my eyes.
I’m praying 📷 that everyone made it out of the building safely.

So, there was one user signed up on my Friendica instance, but I had to delete that account and explicitly set that my Friendica instance is not open yet for public sign-ups. I am really sorry for the inconvenience. I live in a place where electricity is very limited, which is why I often use mobile phones for administrative tasks rather than my laptop PC. I sincerely apologize, and I hope that one former Friendica user does not get angry with me for that inconvenience.
