Turning things upside down, it suddenly occurs to me that could have the inverse effect of what is expected.

Twitter, as far as I can make out, generally goes like this:

Somebody who for whatever reason, makes something, builds something, or does some research, etc and makes a post of genuine interest about it, often linked to a blog or a publication.

several 100 or 1000 (maybe people, maybe bots) post one liner (often hateful, sometimes trying to be witty) noise on the thread.

What if all that noise simply moves to ? Twitter could then become a place to go to for information without having to suffering the noise of "opinion", not to mention the bots.

Of course, then.. Maybe they would go back to twitter, and leave in peace?

Best case scenario here is that somehow instances remain small, community based, serving to bring people together rather than keep them divided in fear, with just the right amount of cross over to stop filter bubbles. something that always would elude twitter.

@keith It could be a cat-and-mouse game, or server admins might put plenty of effort into keeping them out. Some people have praised admins on Masto for being quite decisive on this, though I feel only time can tell whether this will stick.

@kie
Yes, I feel that ultimately, the logistics of administration is going to be the crux of it all. Both the human resources required for... what can we call it? Social administration? and the tech resources required to stay online and scale. (computer hardware, electricity, etc)

Which to my mind is one more reason to keep your instance small!
