I just worry that there will come a point when beehaw has too many users for that to work. If we had 1/8 of reddit's users there's still a good chance it would turn into a violent place. Would beehaw limit growth at a certain point?
No idea! But we don't want to turn into a violent place. Our only rule is to be(e) nice, and that's something none of the owners are willing to budge on. If we start running into serious issues with this, we're open to whatever measures are needed to get this back under control.
That's the magic of federation: I hope beehaw would consider closing registration when getting to a certain size that makes moderation harder, allowing for another server to be "the new beehaw" and so on to have a galaxy of easily moderated instances that federate together.
Can we call them "hives" to match the bee setting?
This is actually genius imo
