The reason this place works and is safer than Twitter is because people are spread out on many servers.

If people all crowd onto one server, it can be dangerous for the network as a whole.

It also makes mastodon.social harder to moderate if everyone is on there. Moderation tends to work better on smaller servers.

Also, servers are all independently owned and set their own rules, and some have nice extra features (like higher character limits etc),
