 @J12t thank you for sharing! I hope we can talk further about everything going on, over the coming months. I certainly want to join #FediForum again at the next event, having missed the last one.  Group photo added of those people who wanted to be on the photo. Thanks @tantek.com for the idea, also helps with transparency. @J12t Interesting. I just hope they donβt figure out some nonsense to inject ads on non-Threads stuff...  having massive instances is a mistake. is anyone discussing limits to the size of an instance? we need less massive instances and instead easier ways to deploy personal instances to the point that i could run one on my phone as an app. at best meta should become a vps provider that charges people for hosting services like digital ocean , at least that way you could regulate them to a utility status. there is a consequence to popularity, @J12t really appreciate you writing this up I wish they'd make a public roadmap, feels like table stakes for introducing yourself to an established community @lewdmachines I know some Meta people have been reading this post, and that's one of the reason I made the explicit point that they really should share their roadmap publicly including the rationale for the sequencing. @J12t Thank you for your notes and insights! I am wondering what kind of resources pressure will come to the whole Fediverse if it chooses to federate with Threads (or Facebook if that ever comes). Would this massive amount of users and data coming in through one super node be difficult to handle for smaller instances? |
@J12t Interesting read thanks. More transparent comm would help to understand their roadmap and next steps
