@Liberonscien @trinsec @freemo @cy@mstdn.io agreed - the science focus is a plus, the population seems to be a sweet spot between too many and too few, and hitting an arbitrary very short limit is annoying - 2k is more what I was hoping for. If I come close to 65k, I hope someone hits me with a tranqilizer dart and drags me back into the enclosure...
@Biggles
Agreed. 65k is crazy

I can add a third reason: **Markdown support!!**
@freemo @trinsec @cy@mstdn.io To be 100% fair - this is no different than IRC was, or twitter, or the rest of Mastodon. Someone runs the server you post on, and they have at least a passing obligation to the community to deal with it when people abuse that hospitality. So - no matter where you are, there's someone who "controls" what you post if that moderation is what you define as "controls".
At least where I'm from - judging people for what they might do is kinda hinky. /shrug
@trinsec said it perfectly. We arent right wing, we arent left wing. We are just a bunch of people with a lot of opinions and we encourage people sharing their opinions and discussing them no matter where they fall on the political spectrum.
Me personally, I am fairly centrist with a slight left lean.
