       @slightlyoff Given the hammering that Mastodon is getting with new users, I can't help but think of your comments about React and how it's likely causing so much pain with the extra server overhead.

       @scottjenson @slightlyoff From everything I've seen the load issues come almost entirely from how the federation works and a few other backend things that should probably be adjusted.Which is a shame, because I love to give React a hard time.

       @alex @scottjenson @slightlyoff absolutely no issues here on small and medium instances.  Federation is working perfectly.  The problem comes from everyone trying to use a few big instances.

       @jared @scottjenson @slightlyoff Correct, that comes down to the lack of experience operating this application at scale and some much needed code improvements to make that easier.But if you watch what happens every time you post, there's a lot of work that Sidkiq has to do to forward your post to other servers and the somewhat big servers get backlogged on that.

       @jared @scottjenson @slightlyoff I almost tipped my own server just connecting to a couple relays, so I'm not convinced sidekiq is going to be the long-term best choice for all that federation work. Something that's a purpose built transport broker will definitely scale and perform better.

       @alex @scottjenson @slightlyoff Also always a fan of ragging on React.

       @bigelow @alex @slightlyoff Performance is always a tricky (and emotional) issue. I'm sure there is LOT to unpack. I'm just saying that mastodon.social, as web page is quite pokey atm and I wonder if it's *all* federation overhead. (However, I don't wish to discount Alex's experience in this at all)

       @scottjenson @bigelow @alex @slightlyoff well, your computer has to fetch the React assets on first load and queries every time you want to make an action, but there's seemingly not a lot that can be optimized in that regard
