Gregory's Server@pearlbear @rysiek @thisismissem I think there's a huge amount of people just checking out briefly who churn through the m.s number. I browse our local a lot and it's almost entirely garbage. If you're afraid of the blast radius of m.s going away, stop over here and spend some time on our local timeline.

 @rysiek @pearlbear @thisismissem For a large instance or Twitter analogue, the local timeline just isn't a good way to browse. Imagine a feed of every post on Twitter. I think folks benefit from eventually moving somewhere with a tighter community though, yes. @rysiek @pearlbear @thisismissem But it would give you a very different idea of the server than you might have looking solely at the stats.  @ocdtrekkie you are making a very good argument for not making m.s the default instance for new people. It's a different argument to the one I've been making, but it's still a good one. |
@ocdtrekkie if the churn is so high, maybe that's another reason not to put new people by default on an instance that, as you say yourself, has "garbage" local timeline? 馃
