There's a good chance that the #fosstodon drama ends up being a net good thing for the instance. It's sad that Mike and Kev had to suffer for it and step away but I think in the long run it will work out for the best.

Fosstodon needed to get smaller. It obviously got too big. Now lots of people have left for other instances. If the new admins slow growth it'll be better.

It's also good for more people to use smaller instances. It makes the federation stronger.

So while it sucks that it did happen, I think we can find a silver lining. I wish the new admins good luck. I loved my time on Fosstodon. I did end up leaving (when I thought it would shut down) but that worked out well for me too. A smaller instance has kind of rejuvenated my interest in the #fedi.
