@lowqualityfacts It also betrays a certain ignorance of how Mastodon works. It's not a question of Mastodon scaling, it's a matter of your instance scaling!

@lowqualityfacts what we're missing here is that "but can it scale?" is really code for "but can venture capitalists milk it for cash?"

@lowqualityfacts The primary difference between horizontal scaling and vertical scaling is that horizontal scaling involves adding more machines or nodes to a system, while vertical scaling involves adding more power (CPU, RAM, storage, etc.) to an existing machine.

@lowqualityfacts my personal conclusion after about 8 months of not only being on Mastodon, but actually running a small instance is that the path to scale is probably the horizontal proliferation of many instances.This applies not only to Mastodon but all the Fediverse applications as well.Huge instances become painful to moderate and administer, so they require financial resources from the users or somewhere else. Several examples seem to survive, so seems to be possible.Small instances are more homogeneous and easier to manage (say for your office or school) as they have somewhere to draw the resources from and they have solid and visible ties with the users, thus moderation is easier to enforce inside and outside the platform (ie. misconduct can warrant being spelled from school or fired from work).Tiny instances (like mine) are relatively inexpensive to run, with zero moderation efforts as you probably know very well the handful of users in the instance.#Mastodon #MastoAdmin #Fediverse #FediTips
