Is the fediverse about to get Fryed? (Or, “Why every toot is also a potential denial of service attack”)
This may have been broached already and I just missed it but is mastodon designed to handle replies/likes interserver the same way it does intraserver?
Meaning is the massive increase in resources you saw a product of your account being on its own server and everyone else being on different servers?
Thanks!
@darthmole Afaik, it should be far more efficient to distribute intra-server messages. That’s one of the erroneous incentives for vertical scale. If I was on mastodon.social and my ~23,000 followers were also on mastodon.social, there wouldn’t be a problem. Mastodon is designed to handle that without breaking a sweat. And hey, did you notice, we just recreated Twitter.com?… oops! :)
@aral lol also oops indeed!
