In no way is the person you’re responding to speaking defensively. They’ve discussed the reason why your extrapolation to a full-mesh connective worst-case scenario isn’t based in the reality of how ActivityPub functions. But you don’t seem to be willing to entertain the notion that the federation of any given action never exceeds the number of instances subscribed to the community that generated it.

Even should every instance subscribe to every community on every other instance, the recipient of a federated action doesn’t turn around and rebroadcast that action back on to the network because it is not the authoritative host of that community. Therefore what this discussion is lacking is proof of where this exponential broadcast storm of federated actions comes from in your assertion.

I was reading about this study some just the other day. Gotta say that I’m really intrigued by how it re-frames the generally accepted knowledge. I hope they’re able to derive something testable from this.

I definitely wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a notable overlap there. Probably not a stretch to imagine that the technically-minded users would be more in tune with the protest.

Whoa, what a cool project! It seems like way more than I need for single-user purposes, but I’ve been relying on Moonlight, Sunshine, and Chiaki quite a lot more than I ever expected to since I ended up taking quite a liking to using the Steam Deck as a pseudo thin-client. Kind of the best of both worlds letting another machine do the heavy lifting somewhere else in the house, so any advancements in the local game streaming space are extremely welcome to see.

MGS3 is such an experience, enjoy it! It’s remarkable how much depth got crammed in to the MGS games, even just in the codec calls alone.

I snagged a couple of VPS from Racknerd in the Black Friday sale. One of them became a home for my Mastodon instance and now the other gets my new Lemmy instance. No issues to speak of with them yet, so I’m perfectly happy with 'em.

Slide for Reddit was my app of choice. Now I’m just waiting for my CCPA data export request to come back to me. Once that’s done, all the old accounts are going in the shredder.

Thanks for the helpful tool! Posting this from my new single-user Lemmy instance. I ended up tweaking the compose template a bit to remove Caddy since I already have it running on this VPS for other services. Wasn’t too bad to just take the Caddyfile information and add it to my own existing framework.
