     @annika @coolstar This is such a good point, and I'm glad someone actually offered a simple, clear explanation. So: thank you! I'm interested if there are any rough estimates or even definitions of what numbers constitute a "small," "medium," or "large" server?

     @coolstar Large servers with open registration are harder to moderate due to their size, but also harder for other servers to block because they represent such a large % of users on the network. Having people spread out over more servers is better for the health of the network, and as a bonus you also get more of a community feel from smaller servers.

     @annika I've been on mastodon.social since 2016... what's the issue with it?

     @annika Thank you! Of course, it's very open to interpretation in many respects. But your suggestion here is really good food for thought - and hopefully provokes further discussion! (I'll boost!)

     @MediaActivist I think 10 people would give you 10 different answers, but maybe: you can know everyone on a Small server (a few dozen people), you can feel like part of a larger community on a Medium server (a few hundred), a team can effectively moderate a Large server (a few thousand?). Past that it gets unwieldy and you get all the moderation problems we expect from huge commercial social networks. Would love to hear other perspectives on this!

     @cougar @annika That would be quite a neat feature. Fediverse server virtual-hosting.

     @annika Is there any simple way to set up Fediverse webfinger or similar service to use @mydomainname in handle without running dedicated server? I'd like to be part of bigger community than one user but still have the username that I can use forever and move around
