What if you could unify your email with Mastodon, Pleroma, or any other ActivityPub client?

Would you do it? Why not?

The Gibson

@indirection I don’t see why one would do it, but I’m sure there are use cases.

@Gargron is there a technical reason why other instances can't be searched while not signed up there? DDOS protection, user protection, or just an oversight?

Eugen Rochko

@indirection Yes, DDoS protection as well as preventing data scraping

@Gargron how do you handle storing media content uploaded to Mastodon? It must be crazy expensive?

Eugen Rochko

@indirection Yeah, it’s kind of expensive. Paying Exoscale about 90 Euros per month for the object storage. To be fair that’s not expensive if you think Facebook scale, just expensive for a normal person.

@Gargron what makes Mastodon particularly special over other ActivityPub-based software?

Eugen Rochko

@indirection It pioneered ActivityPub adoption, it’s one of the more mature, polished, and user-friendly projects. It’s particularly good for medium to large communities due to its feature set and scaling capacity
