Gregory's Server@liaizon @chrismessina @tonyg @alexeheath Yes. Why would that create a lot of traffic? People have to follow each other first.

 @liaizon @chrismessina @tonyg @alexeheath The hypothetical 10M users would not be on the little servers, but on Meta's. Unless you subscribe to all 10M, it wouldn't affect you.  @Gargron @liaizon @chrismessina @tonyg @alexeheath
Unless Meta doesn't respect the protocol and sends all their traffic in the hope that their content appears in the federated timeline. Is there some check somewhere to make sure an incoming activity is actually asked for by someone locally ?  @Gargron sorry to be a dick about it, but it's Mastodon that proliferated the behaviour of sending activities to all the instances that your users follow other people on. So it's entirely possible that at least one from the 10M users will be followed from every instance in the fediverse, therefore when someone posts, Meta's servers will federate with *everyone*. @mariusor @liaizon @chrismessina @tonyg @alexeheath That description does not ring a bell for any behaviour in Mastodon I can think of. |
@Gargron @chrismessina @tonyg @alexeheath But even the last wave of a few million people coming from Twitter we were having little servers flopping over left and right just from all the new activity
