To what end? our local timeline seems rather manageable. At some point it may get crowded and worth considering. Right now the pass seems workable, do you disagree?
@freemo @users
I find the local timeline great as it is. Not to sparse or dense.
It was more of just a thought of whether you had a particular max number in mind, or if you had any commitments against small scale centralisation.
I'd imagine 13000 accounts (granted, some bots) is maybe a lot to handle. Doesn't seem like it though.
People also naturally inclined to take what they can instead of conserve, and grow as much as they can. What are your thoughts?
Its ahrd to judge based on numbers, as you suggest it has more to do with activity. I dont have a number in mind but mostly look to our local timeline and the interactions of the community to get a sense for if we are in the sweet spot. For now its good, if things start feeling crowded we will adjust accordingly.
I am a big fan of trying to feel your way through the rules and development of QOTO as hard numbers can be very misleading.
This is Mur 
@freemo
How many of that 13,000 are dormant accounts?
@torresjrjr
@users
@mur2501 My account here was dormant for like 2 years. ;)
Suprisingly you arent the only one. I see people like that every week. I usually am made aware of it because they come begging me to get them into their account as they lost their email or two factor or whatever.
@freemo
What's the procedure for getting into my account if I forget my email or stuffs?
@trinsec @torresjrjr @users
Ask me and sufficiently prove your identity. I sometimes need to deny users access. If you can show you own the email address and your account has been inactive then I will usually disable 2fa for you. If the user has been active though I give the user a chance to speak to see if its them or whats going on.
If you lost your 2fa and your email address entierly then I will usually verify that the email address is truly deleted by emailing it and seeing if I get a mail domain error saying the account is deleted. If i do not get that error then I wait some time to see if i get a response from the old email address to see if it is the user there or not.
So, dont delete your email address basically or else it might take a week or more for me to verify you.
@freemo
Rather then deleted email I think forgetting the password of email would be more dangerous 
@trinsec @torresjrjr @users
@mur2501 I think if you forgot the password of your email, you got bigger issues than a lost Mastodon account. :P
By the way if you want extra security in this scenario and protection against malicious users pretending to be you to get into your account then post your GPG key in your bio or verify with keybase. This will allow me an addition vector to verify you should you get locked out that wont rely on email.
@freemo
How can I verify with Keybase?
I am dumb ๐
@trinsec @torresjrjr @users
@freemo @mur2501 @trinsec @users
Preferably use @keyoxide
https://keyoxide.org/
https://keyoxide.org/guides/mastodon
Zoom aquired Keybase, so do with that knowledge what you will.
