Kolektiva has grown a lot. With open registration and lots of hype around the fediverse, there's gonna be plenty of activity.

Be very wary of ppl casually posting sketchy things. Fash will be here; cops will be here; nothing on here is private; lots of accounts have no verification they are who they claim to be.
