Fediverse server admins: have you considered putting a limit on the number of people that can join your instance?

If not, please do.

(This should really be a feature in fediverse servers like Mastodon, etc. “Max occupancy” or something with an auto-shutoff when it’s reached.)

Remember, small is beautiful ;)

If nothing else, I’m sure none of you want to become mini Zuckerbergs or Musks – eww – so let’s make sure we set the right incentives from the start.

@aral I think one thing about limiting the size (even if you in end want to be open to people joining over time) is to be sure you can moderate the traffic related to your instance. And sadly, right now I'm way behind on my PeerTube instance.
