Gregory's Servermastodon.social now has over 1 million accounts
this seems like it should be a problem
edit: i realised what the problem is. the problem is gargamel re-enabled open registrations on mastodon.social

 @Rairii it IS a problem. The idea that a service is just a website and just an app should be eradicated from the mind of new fediverse users. And we're failing.
 @Rairii I'd like to think they will eventually migrate to other instances once they figure out which community suits them best. ๐บ @websick @calculsoberic yeah, I did the same lol, supposedly about a third of the accounts on m.s are active though  @Rairii@haqueers.com @websick@vmst.io @calculsoberic@mstdn.social really? it shows the active number as 169k for me @calculsoberic @Rairii Yes! This instance seems to have a well balanced blocklist and rules. Plus I can use my login for Write Freely and a few other things.   @Rairii I feel like there isn't any tangible incentive for a layperson just wanting to follow and interact with people to look for a different server than the one they first heard of (which is probably going to be mastodon.social) @daniel @Rairii there's also a service availability thing, people don't wanna join a thing that might not be around in 5 years or even 10. if we wanna minimize that, then it should be as easy as possible to multi-tenant or selfhost. and it should be as easy as possible to migrate inboxes. sadly it's not. the current model of "instance" is broken in multiple ways but the biggest way is that it bundles together way too many things. |
@Rairii@haqueers.com meanwhile, misskey.io now has over 120k users thanks to Twitter trend in Japan
