@J12t So, if I am understanding the link, they have built a commercial product called Rama, that acts as a generic infrastructure tool for dealing with distributed processes.
On top of this they implemented a Mastodon clone (in/using Rama). But surely the impact of this will be very limited, because, from the description, it looks like Rama is going to be a closed source product. Or am I misreading that?
@doctorambient imho the interesting thing is that there is now an existence proof that software can be built speaking fediverse protocols that scales to Twitter size. That had been a conjecture — and a sometimes disputed one — before. For that, their specific implementation doesn’t really matter.
