Some will cheer, some will be mildly disappointed. But I'm out, I think.

    Sometimes there's only so many hours in a day. And so ultimately you have to make a choice whether that goes into moderation and maintenance, or development. Also remember that the fediverse isn't generally paid to be run and addict more and more people. It's a service for those who want to use it. Many of which don't pay but give their participation.

    I wonder if that will become a problem eventually - the few larger, better funded instances sponging up users from smaller ones that need to limit themselves, somewhat centralizing the fediverse.

    Thankfully the way it's designed there isn't exactly a lot of reason to do that. As long as the contents are accessible from the instance I'm on and they don't have me blocked etc. Then what does it matter if I'm on said instance? As long as the instance itself does what I need?

    In Pug's case they are a mass moderator and poster. Which for them presents different difficulties. Difficulties in both growing and feeding the community etc. Very different from the average user.

    Though with a difference that multiple centers exist, rather than exclusively one.

    Also for those of us in the USA there are so many other life-threatening additional considerations to add: e.g. if we join Piefed.ca then what happens when the USA decides to invade Canada, so either communication gets cut off or people who use this social media get rounded up onto a convention camp?
