@p

I'm so confused by this. Not that its my business, but how is taking to (or even being sexual with) a 24 year old considered pedophilia?

@snow

Agreed

@namark

@namark

Why wouldnt they. The federated moves pretty fast and i respond to what catches my attention, even if its 1% of the content that is passing before my eyes.

With many moderators each would notice a small percentage but cumulatively they would have coverage if there were enough of them.

@snow

@namark

Why wouldnt it scale? More users mean more people to select for moderator positions. So long as the ratio of moderators to users stays the same the effort should be reasonable per moderator.

I do agree that our goal is not to grow at all costs. But i see no need to also intentionally try to keep the instance small.

@snow

@xyfdi That seems to be where it is headed yea.

My god the democratic debates is such a shit show. As much as I hate Trump and would like to see him replaced its getting harder and harder to consider the democrats a viable alternative.

Since they lost the election it seems they have done everything in their power to make sure they loose it again.

@snow

That has been the case before, we have simply exapnded the number of moderators we have when that happens.

@namark

@snow Fair

@namark

Servers have limited capacity for sure, but that is not an argument for smaller servers.

Large servers imply that those servers are well enough paid for to be able to support its user base. Their existence increases the capacity of the network does not decrease it.

Obviously if there is some mega server and everyone migrates and there are only a few small instance servers then it couldnt support the migration this is true. But even if that mega instance never existed the network wouldn't have been able to support the capacity anyway, so its a moot point.

It feels like your stretching reality to prove a point. here.

@namark

I never claimed that my notion of quality applies to everyone equally. Everyone will have a different notion of quality and that is why we have different instances, because people have different ideas of quality.

As for it only being satisfiable if instances are kept small, I dont see that as being the case. The fluidity to migrate instances is a technological one. So long as i can migrate my account to a new server and forward my old followers to my new account then it is satisfied, regardless of size.

@snow

@namark

I disagree, it isnt about the size of an instance it is about the fluidity allowing to leave sn instance for another (migrate) without consequence that is more important.

Though I would say size, either small or large, should not be the intended goal of an instance. Quality should be.

@xyfdi Not sure, I dont really learn from books on programming too often like this. The stuff I've used are usually more math oriented. Sorry just havent read any of these.

@brahmastraa Hi there, great to have you here!

@vertigo I'm confused. ASM and A are already taken (A by you, and ASM goes back to the begining of computing).. AS sounds like the only unique option.

I feel like any of these three choices would also be hell in terms of searchability.

@snow We are actually one of the largest mastodon instances. Last I checked I think we were one of the top 20 largest. So we are "mainstream" enough in that sense.

But I agree to a point. Most people dont want thoughtful nuanced content. They want sound bytes they agree with and little more.

Our goal as an instance shouldnt be to get the attention of most people, but rather the attention of quality people.

I made a deal with this dude once and he goes "lets shake hands to seal the deal" I replied "sure" then raised my arms over my head and shook my hands in the air. He stared at me confused for a good minute trying to figure out what was going on.
