À mes amis francophones, j'ai déménagé. Je vous invite donc à me suivre sur @xuv #Merveilles.town.

À tout de suite?

@Gargron It's an interesting approach. Filling the page with toots of different sizes is inviting to quickly scan the page and have a rough overview of the times in which those toots appeared, without being too precise and linear. It's probably the best way to fit as many toots as possible and give a quick impression of what that hashtag is about.

I kind of feel bad for the guy who has the account @toot@twitter.com

@mookie From experience on Mastodon.social. I must say that the local timeline is still manageable. The federated timeline, on the other hand, is unreadable. But I do hop on the local one once a day if I can. Just to take the temperature.

@lightone I think the whole point of relays is to circumvent this federation "problem". But I don't think a lot of mastodon (or else) instances are using this.

@lightone afaik, tags don't reach out other instances if no one follows that particular account.

In order to fight against #spam, large #mastodon instances should just turn on subscription by invitation only.

Large instances become an interesting target for spammers. Small instances, not so much. Those brand new spam accounts are looking for the largest audience. Since they are not followed by anyone, their spammy content will probably not reach anyone beyond the instance where they set themselves.

@rmdes also, by posting a message every 5s, they make the local timeline unusable.

@rmdes It's not one account. If you bring it down, another pops up with the same behavior. This has been going on for at least a week. And I've seen tens of accounts pass by and being removed with the exact same behavior.

@hansup One particular account posting the same url every 5s.

@rmdes Yes. One particular account posting the same url every 5s.

The #spam situation on #mastodon.social is out of control. The local timeline is unusable. Makes me really consider a move to another #instance.

Ok #Miami.

@KnowPresent That sounds like a gool idea actually. I would go watch that on Broadway.

OMG WTF. I can believe this is real.

@wendy @crickxson Or is it a Quick? My memory is failing.
