@derek@sunbeam.cityMy concern with #riptwitter is that the #fediverse doesn't have capacity for allll those people right away.
Massively growing mastodon.social just wont work! The major draw of the fediverse is that human moderators enforce code of conduct for a community of people that agree with it. Throwing everyone in a big common space is a recipe for overwhelmed mods in an impossible situation.
The only way this works is if the load of incoming users is spread out across many instances. There needs to be a pool of people willing to run and moderate all these people. That's not simple, it's not like flipping a switch - it's a learned skill.
#mastodon is lovely, but peoples' experiences are going to degrade with servers that are too large.
My two cents. 
This graph doesn't make me feel much better about the user to instance ratio. People are going to have a poor experience if they all end up on mastodon.social.

@derek definitely agree, though I think that will incentivize solutions from the community. It creates a need, which could be solved by enhancing the ability to set up a fediverse server, as well as transfer servers. If people can easily host their own server, say for friends and family, then there becomes a more personal incentive to do so, as well as a wider diversity of server types as communities host them almost like subreddits. Personally, I'm excited to watch this evolve.
@ChaosSpectre It's interesting times to be sure.
@derek I agree. That's why I think that capacity building (teaching and training new administrators and moderators) is way more important than scaling up hardware. It takes more time and you cannot simply raise more money and get it.

@derek I have to agree that what makes these servers so important is the very real human admins. Bird site became a mega corporation, which is totally not the culture of having the different servers and instances.
