Also, it's a secondary advice to devs: Don't add features that encourage big instances.</content>

This is of course hard on Mastodon, because it doesn't have a publicly visible timeline.</content>

If so, there'll necessarily be a few instances much larger than the others; even if most are small, the network both socially and technically has to be able to deal with the existence of the few large ones.</p></content>

I'll stay here with my 5 friends.</content>

Sadly, I wasn't impressed. I'm all about varying perspectives but Adam and John basically just sound like resentful curmudgeons. It seems like their shtick is basically playing devil's advocate to everything to arouse some discontent. Just my two cents. 😉</p></content>

Also it builds character. :-)<br /> <br /> So if this is not federation because you can't follow all of online mankind, what should we call it? Proto-federated? Pre-federated?<br /> <br /> The term has been used decades ago for just one Microsoft Active Directory domain cross-certifying the root of another, by mutual agreement. I don't see how it's any less relevant to opportunistic federation between open servers on an open internet.<br /> <br /> I'm not saying we should be satisfied, I'm just saying that "federate" is a useful word and to build a big system we need to start with a small one. And focus on the things we *can* change, like helping the OStatus network grow and making the tools more useful.<br /> <br /> Saying that the network's ideals have failed because other networks aren't joining is doing neither of that.</content>
