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.

What does it take to facilitate this? Do individuals have the ability to help it along, or does it take more resources? I'm new to this but would like to learn.

You just have to (encourage others to) register on an instance with less than, say, 2000 active users. I think that's already taking care of most of the issue.

Yes and another thing that also doesn't help is that Mastodon currently does not (yet) support migrating over previously posted content. So if you migrate from one server to another, your old profile does show "user migrated to X", but I think people are a bit afraid to leave their old posts behind.
