@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

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

you banded together as the mod team who does the heavy lifting under an oppressive admin! go you! woohoo! do the libera chat thing and make a good network! wait why are you buying the instance

@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

if you need to think of a "legal entity" for your instance maybe just don't bother honestly

@eris i think email is good for exactly those reasons
like it's definitely not the best for what it's used for right now but i think the idea of "send me a message and it'll reach me" is a thing that instant messaging is kind of parallel to and nothing's come close to beating against email
it is Your Address
devoid of context of other messages . just like sending a letter

same thing with irc not having good history. like .yeah? we got used to it but you don't record all of your talks and calls for later right. so why do you need it for irc if it's mundane. if it's important, email it

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

this meme has a VERY small target audience and i love all of you. all four of you

what a great way to thank the idiot who paid too much money for san francisco condos through your shitty platform
