 I guess it's true that people stop zapping when the price goes up. 

I don't.

 Thanks 🙏 Zappa ⚡️⚡️⚡️ 
 Gotta zap more 
 Trying to zap you but says alby is down atm 
 Good to know. I guess I should check and make sure that's not an issue...

 Yeah, seems like it's struggling at the moment. My balance won't load in the Alby Go app. 
 Damn it'll come back online I'm sure soon 
 Hey, we're up! What was down? 😉  
 Hey there, so the issue seems to be resolved now.

I could send zaps, but couldn't receive, and my balance wouldn't load in the Alby Go app. It just showed 0 for most of the day yesterday.

But, the balance is now appearing and I received the zap you sent, so things appear to be in order now.

Thank you! 
 Glad it works! Make sure your node is online, channels are active... and let us know if things don't work!

 Thanks for testing it! 
 You might just be seeing people being consumed with the election and migrating back toward X for news. 
 Also valid and probable. I deleted mine, so there's no going back.

As I explained to a friend recently:

"I was also one who put way too much time towards X, and thought of my account as a "body of work" or a project of mine. 

When I realized that I was terrified of being banned or having my reach impacted as it would represent the loss of all the effort I had put in... That was when I realized it was time to stop contributing my energy to a centralized platform."

 Just got a timeout error trying to zap you 🤔 
 Yeah, my Alby Hub seems to be struggling ATM. Appreciate it though!
