A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Absolutely! And given that they have a gazillion users they can willingly move around they can drown us out in a day if they want
They will drown us out even if they don't want in that case. Them just using the service normally will flood all our feeds with posts from their service based on the sheer number of them.
That's why every instance worth its salt will defederate from day one
I think (and hope) so too. Some pro leniency stances from mastodon bigwigs got me a little worried, that's all.
I don't really care about Gargron and the other growth-focused admins, I literally use an instance that hides stuff from mastodon.social lol
switch to white list mode after certain point I guess. Or introduce some protocol level cooldown thresholds where if you are an instance with 1m users or just 3 bots, then you auto block those.
