Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.

But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.

Give me that hopium guys! πŸ’‰

Honestly people talk too much about the fediverse and federation to newbies and it creates this false barrier to entry. Here's this person, commenting on a post not knowing shit about how it works or where it's from. You don't really need to know about all of that stuff to get going. Just go to any of the instances and get browsing.

Yeah people tend to spew information because they're excited about the fediverse but it's really not complicated to actually use.

People definitely make it seem more complex than it is.
