@Stephan @stux I am on a small instance, and I think it just works better. My admin is super responsive and has a sense of the sort of community they wants to cultivate.

I think it's hard/impossible to have a coherent group of people when you have 10,000s there.

I think it's a mistake (but it's a free world) to have such big instances on Mastodon in general.

@stux @RadiantFlux with current influx we must be happy. They are the buffer. People will find there way eventually. The are the main street people use to start venturing in surrounding neighbourhoods.

@Stephan @stux I actually don't think Mastodon owes Twitter anything. I would happy if servers closed to new members until they can handle the influx properly.

But I understand that's a minority opinion.

And I am a heartless bastard.

@RadiantFlux @stux @Stephan Yea, I think a long term goal of the admins should be figuring out how to break up some of these larger instances. It defeats the purpose of decentralization and makes things harder to run.

But I understand right now we just want the doors open for people trying to get here from Twitter
