@aral one of my first thoughts when I joined fedi was "there should be a pact to only federate with instances below X" - had anything like that emerged or been proposed?

@jaystephens @aral Dubar's number of some sort? It sure would help self-regulation, preventing anonymous ttolling crap.

@Marrekoo @aral
that would be one kind of fediverse (which I would enjoy) but I was thinking more like 100x that, so the upper bound on instance size is like a smallish city. Assuming the median instance size ended up around 1/4 of that, you'd then need around 100,000 instances to approach Meta's user count.
