Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.

But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.

Give me that hopium guys! 💉

In a lot of ways, I’m happy to hear this. A lot of communities will thrive without the intervention of a central power.

Some communities will become toxic, and it will be up to the individual to figure out whether that’s for them or not- but at least they have a choice.

/r/fatpeoplehate inspired me to lose 135 LB. It wasn’t a bad subreddit.

Granted /r/coonworld /r/chimpout we’re both…Jesus Christ… but at least even the most vile of people had a voice.
