While I understand that getting a lot of users join #ActivityPub can be seen as an opportunity, it is known that #dynamics are strongly affected when in a systems you have huge actors and small actors. This is ... #maths! ;)
I found the article by @quokka (on whose instance I have my other account) very convincing, and I am all with the scicomm.xyz decision to choose a #prudentlyDefensive approach (block proactively and, if none of the anticipated problems materialise within time, consider removing the block) rather than #CautiouslyDefensive one (do nothing for now but take rapid action if-and-when something bad happens).
Does the fact that you have boosted this post from @Mastodon mean that mathstodon.xyz endorses this approach? Can you point me to a local discussion about this? Thanks.
