James GleickThe biggest obstacle to joining #Mastodon is step one: Choose an instance. I suspect that most #Twitter users who would like to migrate give up right there.
Meanwhile, some fear https://mathstodon.xyz/@manlius/109383027753990134 that the largest servers account for too much of the whole.
What can be done? There are a few lists, but none capture anything like the full range. And it’s a moving target.
Would a Wiki be feasible? Freely editable, lightly moderated? Flexible categories. Who would initiate such a thing?

Attached: 1 image Again, a quick and dirty analysis, but if I have no bugs then the 1% largest #Mastodon instances accounts for 84% of all users. The top 5% accounts for 97% of all users. We can say that the system is effectively centralizing around a few instances, and this might be a problem for the overall stability and sustainability. @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] #MastoStat #ComplexSystems
