I am thinking that Mastodon would benefit from larger numbers of smaller instances.
First, Internet history shows it's not good to concentrate users on one service, i.e. Gmail's policies are the de jure standards now.
Second, any time talk starts resembling "too big to fail", the system has already failed.
I wrote a thing on how to automatically crosspost specific posts from Mastodon to Twitter:
If you have any problems with the directions let me know. :)
This is how to crosspost from Twitter to Mastodon:
1. Go to https://twitrss.me and create a RSS feed for your twitter account
2. Go to https://www.benjamin-schieder.de/rsstootalizer/ and authorize your account
3. Add the RSS feed created in step 1 and enabled it
4. done

* elixir feels like ruby and will scale to the planet if you want
* clojure is really pleasant, is easy to deploy/manage, and scales like mad
* node ranges from ugh to not bad (depending on your HLL), and is moderately easy to deploy/manage
I'm sure the answer is "Eugen likes Ruby", but I had to ask.
Hey developers, if you've got time 👋
