@gar Yeah, that's what Evan did with identi.ca when he switched it from #StatusNet (née laconi.ca, now #GNUSocial ) to pump.io. The switch has been debated hotly, but I think it's clear that the closing registrations part had the intended effect on the pump.io world.

I would say it partially worked. Identica started with such a huge number of users that I doubt any other instance is even close. When the #bifurcation happened, many people stopped using their early pump.io accounts and went back to ica. But the imbalance can't get worse because no registrations allowed there.
