Also (while I remember because today continues to be a blur) it was great to meet and chat with @haubleshannah aubry at the Mastodon stand earlier today and talking especially about the experiment they're planning when it comes to redirecting some sign ups away from Mastodon social and to other general purpose instances.

I'm really keen to be able to have Mastodonapp.uk and Universeodon become part of the experiment and ultimately help take some of the new folks coming to join Mastodon as a whole.

I am excited to see more on what the experiment and potential long term approach is going to be and I know there's a fair few questions they are thinking about when it comes to spam and ensuring this is sustainable for all instances and not just those fortunate enough to have large moderation teams 24/7.
