There’s a lesson to be learned here: don’t push a massive update close to the holidays because, ya know, you might break federation and go on vacation for a week.
I mean, no one has forced any admins to deploy a new version. But yeah, this is an annoying one.

Devs break federation.
You: here’s why it’s everyone else’s fault

It’s valid to point out when amateurs do amateur stuff, in the hopes they one day become experts.
Backup before upgrade. If you can’t, don’t be the first to upgrade. Have a test instance.
And if all of that sounds like too much, then just accept downtime as a lifestyle.

It usually takes multiple mistakes for a failure this big.

It’s not a devs vs admins, this was a failure on both sides. This is early days for the Fediverse, I’d imagine this will shake out over time as unreliable instances are abandoned and we get more devs and they learn to or get what the resources needed for better testing.

Why would users do this?
