Also, if Mastodon really grows, will the traffic make it prohibitive to run small instances cheaply?
@Samizdata I'm getting followed by bots designed to follow everyone, so I imagine these federations will get VERY follow happy =P
@Capndan @Samizdata Strongly depends on the instance. Some instances want a large view of the rest of the federation so their running their own follow bots etc. Others prefer a quiet instance.
@Capndan I guess it rather depends on how follow happy the users get.
