## Context
Since a week or two, I experienced serious issues running Mastodon.
It's been a while since I started [mastodon.papey.fr](https://mastodon.papey.fr).
With all the evolutions going on plus the expansion of the Fediverse, my current server can't handle the load.
I don't want to pay more to get a more powerfull server so I will close this istance.
## Status
For now, the instance is running in minimal mode with minimal workers available.
It's now time for you to get your data and move your account to another instance
[mastodon.papey.fr](https://mastodon.papey.fr) will be closed on **2020-03-25**.
You can find on me the Fediverse at **papey@rage.love**
Thanks for the ride, see you soon.
## 410
It's done, on **2020-03-25** I launch the `tootctl self-destruct` command.
Mastodon instance is closed and will now return a 410 status.
```bash
curl https://mastodon.papey.fr/about
410 Gone
```
Again, thanks for all the joy shared on this instance.
Bye !
