@shadow8t4 I normally make heavy use of the federated timeline for just small talking with folks... but it's not quite viable for that at the moment 😅

the influx has definitely been interesting to watch ^^

@heartles@pdx.social I can definitely see some benefits to having an account on a place with a really quiet timeline, tbh... though I sometimes enjoy swimming in the chaotic firehose of a big federated timeline 😅

@heartles@pdx.social could always use multiple accounts?

I know that's a thing that a fair number of folks do for various reasons.

Please remember to read the rules for mastodon.social: https://mastodon.social/about/more

Specific notes that I've noticed:

* Please don't post nudes, either photos or drawings, to the public timeline without using the "sensitive image" overlay (the "eye" icon that appears when you add an image)

* Please don't use anti-gay or racial slurs even in jest (we don't know you, and have to assume you mean them seriously)

@rachicolate You're very welcome!

The federated (and, I suppose local timeline, given that you're on mastodon.social) isn't normally quite this crazy, but it'll probably calm down a tiny bit with a bit of time.
