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! 💉

Thanks for the in depth answer!

And that sounds like a mature and adult decision. On the internet. Who knew such things were possible...

Yeah, I've seen more mature discussions in the verse in a month, than I have on Reddit in the past year or two.

The other big one lately is Facebook/Meta joining the verse. Response from the instances have ranged from "Meta can go to hell, we're not gonna federate", to "we'll wait and see", to "great! more content". And they all just agree to disagree with almost no drama.

It's quite refreshing.
