   I just read another news article about why mastodon didn’t make it and is dying. It’s very sad to hear and probably explains why I have to keep adding more server capacity to handle all the people quitting mastodon.

     @jerry the way ActivityPub requires more storage for reduced activity was an odd design choice.

     @avantgeared I don’t agree with how .art runs their railroad, however the Fediverse was designed with this in mind. Instances can be as open or insular as they want to be, and the rest of the fediverse can decide how to/whether to engage with them. It’s rather like saying “big city living is dead because the Mayor and city council of Hartford, Connecticut are being making what I consider to be bad choices”

     @jerry
     An example of why this is true:
     The mastodon art admin(s) are incompetent morons. Backward thinking control freaks.
     Read this:
     "Looking at mastodon.art, the admins seem to have blocked/muted hundreds of instances, including mastodon.social, mastodon.online, qoto.org, all of which are moderate instances with a clear policy against racism, harassment, etc., I don't see how this is good for artists, who probably need engagement. I think mastodon.art admins are trying to push their agenda by pressuring other instances to adopt stricter restrictions and limit users' freedom, instead of simply protecting their users (which is not achieved by restricting users from interacting with moderated instances)."

     @jerry We need to put a rate-limit on all the quit-requests so that it doesn't harm those who are staying.

     No more than 600 quitting per day, something like that.

     Quitting is computationally expensive.

     @goatsarah @jerry wait, is this something I have to do? Approve followers? This makes me feel dumb, which is not at all your fault lol I’m going to investigate this right now. Thank you!
