@silverpill A testament to how slow most languages are compared to Rust! As surely your server will likewise be hammered with requests.Still, this a design issue that must be fixed nonetheless in #Fediverse / #ActivityPub implementations, as they're not all written in Rust.

@phnt @silverpill I know Phantasm, I know. See, I set up my server, that's how I know. Indeed, Pleroma is running in Docker, but it's not running using anyone else's Docker config/setup. It's running built from source in the container.The DB issues were solved and haven't returned. The host has fine disk I/O afaik, but am happy to run some benchmark if you have one in mind.

@silverpill BTW, I'd migrate to @mitra in a heartbeat, but I don't want to lose all these posts yet again. And I also would prefer to be able to keep the domain too for a seamless transition.

@silverpill If merely replying to someone's post causes all following accounts to immediately fetch resources from the account you're replying to, it's a design problem. Basically a built-in DoS.Christine has only ~14k followers. Imagine if she had 10x that many. Or 100x.

@i @silverpill That's good to know, however I really want to promote more people running their own server. More small servers. The ideal fedi setup is a server you own (i.e. 1 server per person). That avoids all of the moderation drama. So this is still an important consideration when it comes to both small servers and a growing overall network of servers.

@i @silverpill See, at some point there's going to be companies that will hand out Fediverse servers. To "sign up for fedi" you will be given your own domain and your own server. That will be your account. Everyone gets their own. Zero moderation drama (except for the host company, but they will be based in the United States with strong Freedom of Speech protections).

@phnt @silverpill To be clear I'm not saying my server was taken down by @cwebber's reply. I'm saying I noticed that when she replied my server got hammered hard. Close to maxing out 4 cores, and some requests were starting to get dropped. Have you paid this close attention to your server when a large account replies?

@phnt @i @silverpill @cwebber Oh thanks! I may add that as posting that image resulted in this (b/c of the relay I'm guessing):

@Wiz @silverpill @dj @lain @cwebber None of that in my mentions. Those who wish to be in my mentions will all engage respectfully, as I do with them, or they won't at all.Also, it's fairly absurd to be rude to Christine on Fedi.So, both blocked for 1 year.

@nach @silverpill @dj @lain @cwebber @Wiz Those two I gave 1 year, other trolls I won't waste time on, just blocked permanently, and deleted from the server.

@phnt @kirby This seems like a bug in implementations, not a bug in the idea of the fediverse though, right? Single-user instances is the ideal I think the fediverse needs to aim for, so these kinds of bugs are especially important to fix.

@kirby @phnt I don't need to fetch someone's pinned posts unless I'm looking at their profile. If I'm reading a reply thread their pinned posts are totally irrelevant. So, not sure what that traffic was fetching, but whatever it was, was probably unnecessary.

@phnt @kirby When you post to your 3k followers in that example, it's just 3k HTTP POSTs you have to make, right? What's hard about that?

@phnt @kirby Seems OK. So your message isn't seen instantly by all your followers, no big deal. Also a different scenario than when someone else replies to you... Anyway, hopefully these optimizations will be made. The fastest, least resource intensive, and most feature-full implementation will get lots of users.

@phnt @feld Does #Mastodon not participate in a standardization process?There are FEPs: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep

@phnt @feld Where is the discussion for this FEP? I can't find it...

@phnt Thanks! I'm surprised they don't just discuss on codeberg, which seems like a way better UI than Discourse.Do Pleroma peeps participate in these discussions? If not, that's sad, but also, can't complain. Hope you guys do because #Pleroma is a big and important part of the #Fediverse.

Archive.is is just as important as @internetarchive but gets far less love and attention.This brings up the question of the future of archival. What if someone used #Arweave to try to archive the Internet? That seems like it could be done anonymously.RT: https://mastodon.social/users/jasonkoebler/statuses/115503327618262918

One of the biggest lies in Western Media is that Western countries are "democracies".The reality is none of them are.They are all oligarchies of various sorts, some more totalitarian than others.QT https://x.com/wideawake_media/status/1996505626663350311"As of December 27, Australians will be forced to upload government-issue IDs every time they search the web.... No ID, no search." "The reasoning is protecting kids from adult content... The reality, though—some critics say—is a full-scale experiment in digital control.""Access to essential online services—including payment systems, messaging, computing apps—could depend on possession of a digital ID... Refusal would effectively block a citizen from daily life online."
