I've decided to make account creations by approval only, which may change to invite only. It's clear such a huge wave of people from Twitter has had an overall negative effect. It's not even about server performance, people just don't read the rules and they complain there's actual moderation here unlike the hellscape they came from. We're incredibly fair and balanced, but this isn't Grindr or FetLife, nor is it supposed to be a Twitter replacement.
@nathan please be careful with that concept. I’ve had more positive interactions here than I ever did with either Bluebird or FB. It’s different and in a very good way.
@CAman There are thousands of Mastodon servers, people can join whatever one they like.
@nathan @CAman yep they should think about what they love to post the most that's what I did and found the perfect one.
