Phoenix-based Mastodon server?

An article in WIRED says “Twitter Users Have Caused a Mastodon Meltdown”, indicating that Fosstodon (at least) is melting down under the strain of supporting an influx of disaffected Tweeple. I wonder if this might offer a newsworthy adoption opportunity for Phoenix.

According to Wikipedia, Mastodon’s “server-side technology is powered by Ruby on Rails and Node.js, and its front end is written in React.js and Redux”. Anyone want to write a Phoenix-based Mastodon server? (ducks)
