I find it ironic that all those people who'd make jokes about Mastodon, and how heavy it is compared to fedi alternatives, would go on to use one of them, only to run into performance issues when they reached a certain scale.

Yeah Mastodon uses a lot more ram than pleroma, but that's because of redis.

Mastodon never stored raw AP objects, and never subjected admins to hours long migrations due to bad schema planning.

I'd like to see another project scale like Mastodon or Pixelfed does ๐Ÿ˜‰

@dansup there's different vectors in performance.

Mastodon performs well for large (and huge) communities. But it performs terrible for single person setups. E.g. #gotosocial is the reverse. It performs very well for a tiny community, but far worse for a (ten) thousand user instance.

I'm still convinced the fediverse should push for many small instances.
