@jonah just out of curiosity how big is our fed and how big is it to become? Are you going to keep it smaller? Like cap the user limit at a certain point?

I really like this fed, I'm just wondering if it gets so big that it loses the community feel it has now as a smaller community.

@Wetrix there’s all sorts of information like that on
social.privacytools.io/about/m, highly recommend checking it out.

I don’t have any plans to limit anything at this time. Not sure what the best way to accomplish that would be anyhow. Disabling registrations seems somehow antithetical to our goals.

@jonah @Wetrix I'm new to Mastodon so I don't know the precedent here, but with XMPP some servers disable accounts if you haven't logged in for X months.

@supernova @jonah oh yeah? I have no idea. I thought they just existed forever like Twitter?

@Wetrix @supernova yeah your accounts stay on this instance forever unless you delete it or I suspend you :) I think that is the case for all Mastodon servers (i.e. that isn't even a configurable option) but YMMV because idk how Pleroma, PeerTube, Pixelfed et cetera work. Or some admins could conceivably create a script to delete old/unused accounts. Not the case here though.
