I also had high hopes for https://getaether.net but @stavros’s experience makes me think something is not right there. (I haven’t tried it myself though)

a while ago I started writing a blog post about how communities don’t scale and why we should stop trying to make giant social networks work (ie twitter/fb). my argument was largely based on Dunbar’s number but reading https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1723464.The_Breakdown_of_Nations has only made me think this is the case more.

soon ill finish writing this post (esp now that I have more ammunition for my argument), but for now I’d just like to say that I think the fediverse is a great idea.

@wesleyac any reason why the profile directory is limited to those who have >10 followers? seems like that could be lower given that this instance has a pretty trusted set of users.
