The guy rejoined an hour later in time for the ball to drop and everything was good. Mistakes happen and with this many people on I can imagine that the flood of randos was nearly impossible to keep up with at times.
Sorry you got mistakenly kicked but if this was indeed during NA there were like 3-4 different instances up anyway for you to join (don't think anyone except Ry posted an instance link in the thread though)

same shit would have happened with groups
except worse because apparently if you get kicked from a group right now you can't get back in it at all, all requests to join or invites will fail
