🌼 chloe 🌵➡️🐨Instance admins, I've got settings set to WEB_CONCURRENCY=4 and MAX_THREADS=5 on sidekiq. Here's what my dashboard looks like. I'm not sure how to make heads or tails of whether I need more workers or threads. https://cute.group/media/6KQlgwiblNahzJVFBmc

I do stuff, have opinions, and have nice friends. Same @ on Twitter
Mastodonians.
So turns out the federated timeline isn't the firehose. Probably not a bad thing, but I miss Twitter's early days where you had serendipity. Discovering people you don't know is important.
Les OrchardI'm still not sure about the rules around the federated stream. Are most people choosing not to federate? That's interesting, and has some implications re: discovery, as well as what I was talking about earlier (I can't seem to direct link to a prior mastication, but consider Mastodon like the cover of Boston's eponymous album cover.)
Instance owners and the community they cultivate can do what Twitter refuses to do: make clear what is socially acceptable, and take direct action to maintain it.
So I've been thinking about Mastodon and the power of social, and celebrity. Now we have the power to make our own rules/control our own instance. Celebrities/influencers can own their own instance. This has some pretty powerful implications. Dig if you will the picture: The Beyhive mastodon instance. The XOXO instance, The Freying instance. Instances/communities around a topic/brand. Maybe they are federated. Maybe not. Just brain dumping.
