@ink_slinger @keithzg I've been running this place for 2.5 years and I'm still mystified as to how my federated timeline "coalesced" out of the ether, without relays, especially during the early time I was the sole user (active or otherwise).
I think the fediverse would be even better if every instance was #under1000 or #under100 because that makes content moderation so much easier and less emotionally draining.
