@Gargron @atomicpoet please do so, thank you. Also if possible do communicate with admins of some major instances that have some grievances with the moderation, a lot of them are considering silencing the instance or straight up blocking it.

@Gargron Thanks for the update. I bring this up because I think those active accounts will only go up. In 3 months, you might have 1 million users!

And let's be honest: if you're working 14 hour days, then your breaking point is coming soon.

@Gargron @atomicpoet I hope mastodon.social can refer out new users to pool of instances which can take in the extra load. Maybe broken up into geographic regions.

The other factor to consider is the type of users now joining.

As you're both more than aware, Twitter is a very different beast when it comes to how users post and interact. A significant proportion of the new user influx come from the rowdier, punchier bubbles on Twitter - politics (UK, EU, US), anti-Brexit, anti-Trump, and left leaning generally. All quite peaceful at present, but if politically right leaning users join, moderation will become ever more challenging.

@Gargron @atomicpoet My guess is that the flow of reports will slow down. I've seen (and reported) a few cases where it is clear that the person I was reporting didn't know that certain sorts of activities "weren't done here". They weren't malicious; they just didn't know things. So the rate of reports is not so much about numbers of active users. It is about numbers of new active users. Reporting and moderating these is sort of "nipping in the bud" and will have long term pay-offs.
