@advicepig Very. For example, most platforms implement wordfilters, ************2124 see?

@starbreaker Based on a brief scan of the site's headlines, I am not surprised by this

@starbreaker Yeah, I'd jumped ahead to the case where a new user may get a random feed whose content they really really don't want to be exposed to, but you're right that there are more general "failure" modes.

Oh well, might as well just mine the local timeline manually. :)

Wow this username is really working out for me

@starbreaker What could be interesting is a server configured to make new users follow N existing local users at random (say, selected from those with at least K toots). It would encourage some form of community, I guess, but also has some backfire potential.

@starbreaker Interesting. I guess it's server-configurable or something? I'd have expected to at least see \@CobaltVelvet in there as the listed admin but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@starbreaker Thanks! Is there some kind of signal for new arrivals in the instance?
