Mastodon.social is the biggest instance

There's plenty of conversation already existing. Even my single user instance is barely keeping up.

Its not like this is how federation works, federation happens in 3 ways: a person follows a user, thus getting their posts, an instance follows a relay, which gets sent posts and spreads them back out like a vaccum, and 3rd boosting posts.

I don't see threads changing all that much if people don't follow those accounts, and or meta doesn't follow relays and send their posts out through relays.

I can't figure out what meta wants to actaully do.

I can't decipher fully.

If your a big instance and don't want to waste bandwidth, just block them.

If you want meta, block them from the federated timeline if you desire.

No one will guide you in what to do with your fedi instance.
