Scalability does mean favoring monoliths because it costs money to scale and scaling here isn’t proportional to your instance’s users, it’s proportional to the size of the entire network.
60k users is today, not tomorrow. I’m thinking forward to 6000k users.
When the protocol favors monoliths, we’re right back to the Reddit problem
Interesting. Curious if you have a better understanding of ActivePub - do you happen to know if the protocol guarantees synchonicity and what mechanism guarantees it?
The implementation as far as I understand it is plain stupid. It prevents small instances from participating at any significant scale and seems happy to just drop data over the wire without reconciling. Seriously amateurish.
I guess it’s Lemmy’s turn to experience the eternal September effect. At least the “New Platform” is better resilient to greed this time. Long live Digg Reddit Lemmy!
Yeah, or batching changes and confirming receipt with a hash. From what I’ve been reading, the design seems a little janky.
