I'm pouring out a drink for the administrators of the Matrix.org homeserver who are looking to be in for a rough night after major database corruption. Best of luck with the restore, it'll probably be their longest outage for many years.
This does highlight the issues with federated platforms where a large majority stay on one server. Had more people been encouraged to spread out onto other (unaffected) servers, the impact would be far less.
