We're on the Web. So... it feels kinda fig leafy at best.

I can't build the technical side, but I can and will promote the social side, from which comes the subscription money to make it all happen.

I'm just here banging my little tin drum of "What about moderation?"

Can Mastodon.social keep up with the moderation requirements of a growing number of monthly active users? They have a paid team, but I remember POC being moderated against "for being racist" in November.

So: Apple sets up a server, invites existing non-masto customer base. 99% are nice geeks. 1% are paid shills. Hard to defed people just being enthusiastic.

Ex Twitter users refuse to use self-defence tools. Calamity.

Have I got that about right?

I think that people agree levels of small creator ads. No one wants to be muted or disliked.

Hmm... what's the actual mechanics of a zerg rush by meta?

Make a tonne of "free" servers with professional mods supported by ads and a slick user interface, call it "Tooter".

Buy up all free Web hosting to drive up costs?

Legal lobbying to make Mastodon or running a non corporate server illegal?

They'd need sufficient servers, sufficiently well moderated to not cause instant defederation.

Huh... some people are just looking for an excuse after biting off more than they can chew.

I wouldn't run a server because I have neither the technical know how nor the money. Also the self-knowledge that I get easily dis... ooh! A butterfly!

Interesting stuff.

I've seen people talking about Google zerg rushing the fedi by giving everyone with a Gmail account free Mastodon (although Gmail is costing them a _lot_ of money).

Twitter founders looking to recreate Twitter using Mastodon, by say, building in QTs and a slick interface and better onboarding would be a challenge.

Thankyou very much for this thoughtful and nuanced analysis of the studies around QT and QT behaviour.

I think it is relevant to discussions of:
