@Saxophone3784 @NonPlayableClown and that's also totally ignoring the fact every fediverse server will just throw up it's hands trying trying to do the PoW check. Adding the ability for fediverse servers to do PoW as an anti-DDoS feature could become a vector for DoS attacks. Trannies would likely balk at any attempt to add such a feature, even with anti-DoS mitigations. Maybe it could potentially work given per-IP/per-domain throttles. Then again, making it easy for non-browser software to complete the hash might end up defeating the entire original purpose of the technique.

I wonder what @alex would say about the feasibility of adding such functionality.

@crunklord420 @NonPlayableClown @alex Where do you personally see all of this going? do you think fediverse does indeed have potential or will these problems outweigh any benefits in the future?

@Saxophone3784 @NonPlayableClown @alex no one on the fediverse actually gets meaningfully DDoS'd. No one is under serious attack. There isn't a serious spam problem on the fediverse.

The only reason this is true is because the fediverse is a cringe protocol that no one actually cares about. If the fediverse were actually popular the network would become much more militarized like how email works in practice. With real-time blacklists, whitelists, mail provider contact registrations, etc. Email sucks as a result of spam and now email is hardly a open protocol if you don't like being instantly marked as spam.
