toot.cat is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
On the internet, everyone knows you're a cat — and that's totally okay.

@grin it kind of is.

Basically, if you imagine a service type like a shared blocklist, how many instances of that service are necessary for it to be a healthy part of the fediverse?

Is one enough?

Or one per Mastodon instance?

Or one per person with an account?

Or somewhere in between?

The poll proposes one heuristic (1 << N << number of Mastodon instances) and asks whether that's good enough.

@evan NB, this explanation is far better than the ones I've seen yet (including our OOB chat). And has absolutely no resemblance to what little clarity I was taking from the original question.

No need to reply, it can wait until after the poll closes, but just thought I'd share this.
