if enough of us decided that 150 MAU is the max amount of users an instance can have before it gets automatically defederated we can end this bullshit

@nbsp well even this one has slightly beyond that. ~150 MAU

@kescher i used catcatnya as the metric! obviously i don't have a Real Active account but while it's not bursting at the seams it feels less like a coherent community and more like a hub. it's the cusp of acceptable imo

@nbsp But it also had ownership change recently! (headmate lmfao)

@kescher dont think you can shift blame like that keschi. it was you who let it get this full

@nbsp :D

@nbsp tbh I never thought a fedi instance needed to be a coherent community (that shit just causes drama as seen Recently), but the goal on CCN~ was always to have 200 MAU maximum

@kescher oh my point was that instances should not harbor a community (tried that with snowdin with middling results), but instead that they should be a mark of existing relationship

think about like pre-bigtech email addresses. if you have a cool one you either know the admin or are them. any level of parasociality KILLS an instance vibe and makes it a hellhole twitter/tumblr incest child microcosm, as we can see here

@nbsp I mean, yeah.

All this fedi meta has made me a very dull creature
