       God, instances are really just big queues that barf data blobs at each other using worker jobs.

       @sean It's so romantic when you say it that way, Sean.

       @jay I've been here for almost 15 years, and while the concept makes sense, I just...never really thought of it that way until I had to do a massive unclog to make federation work again? 😅

       @grumpygamer Honestly, it's fine. I just had a revelation today, when I had to fix a clog in one of my servers that was preventing stuff from getting delivered.All of this stuff relies on queueing systems to dispatch messages. For a smaller server / account like mine, that's no big deal. But, you definitely need way more power to scale up when your account has tens or hundreds of thousands of people following.
