Gregory's Server@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 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. |
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 ?
