@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online I just don't understand where this certainty of your statement comes from or what your intention is. "They will not...", "They're not at risk...".

There are definitely considerations by admins to defederate mastodon.social if it reaches a certain user share: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/110260432218416976

And I'm pretty sure I've also seen statements by bigger instances with a couple thousand of users that back this decision (unfortunately the search isn't really good enough to find those posts atm).

The question is also whether the temporary blockings of mastodon.social will at some point become very many temporary blockings which are then actually more or less permanent. The moderation of mastodon.social will definitely suffer as the number of users increases (even if you leave out spam accounts and attacks like yesterday). The other issues were mentioned in the post by @feditips@mstdn.social .

If the users can do it and are confident enough, they should definitely register on other instances. If only for the reason of load distribution and to keep the #Fediverse alive and a nice and friendly place.

Btw some of the other fediverse software uses captchas to prevent bot accounts.
