Whatever culture existed on Mastodon will be drowned in the Eternal September to come. Every website feels more personal when there's only 50,000 people there.



You will still find small specialized instances however it get popular globally.


At least it will be more similar to Eternal Septembers on internet forums than whatever happened to centralised social networks. If an Eternal September happens in your instance and you dislike the after-effects you can just... Move without losing much.
