I kind of want .social to close for new accounts at 100,000. I'm more & more concerned that the task of moderating & nurturing a meaningful community within the instance will become far too large for the resources of our tiny, basically volunteer team. :S
I also feel like massing so many people on one instance weakens the potential of mastodon in general to play with models of building interconnected, human-scale communities.

silly dream
but then the people who owned the giant pig didn't want it back (yet) for Reasons, and I protested that I didn't have anywhere permanent to keep it and it was disrupting my job, which involved turning a handle regularly for a long time.
silly dream
I dreamed that I found two birds that I identified as magpies and another creature that I initially identified as a turkey wandering around my yard. the turkey had a sign on it, which I took for a collar and attempted to read. turns out the turkey (now a turkey *vulture*) belonged to some people over on the east coast, so probably the magpies did too. so I rounded them up and put them in a pen, by which time the turkey/vulture was a huge pig, and the magpies were kittens (of course)
OH HEY Y'ALL does anybody (in the Seattle-esque area) know how to sew buttons on coats and is willing to do so, possibly in exchange for HUMAN CASH MONIES or OTHER FORMS OF RECOMPENSE? I can provide the buttons, the coat, entertainment while doing the thing, lunch, and stuff. eeeeeee (<--pre-caffineated brain-squeaking)
