I like the concept. Upvote for things I personally like, boost for things I think the others will like. I'm sane enough to know those are wildly different concepts.
Ahh, I assumed the minimum "update resolution" would be the community, rather than the instance. I can't see how this will scale to millions of users.
Perhaps we're in the technical weeds, but, I'm still not sure I understand. If the total number of users is 1 million, you have 1 million people across the Fediverse. If all instance were federated, the total activity to your server would be the constant activity of those 1 million users. The total amount of activity would be the same between the spread and "lumpy" topology. The only difference would be where the updates were coming from, which I don't see why would matter, unless it's like one thread per instance for communication, which would be doomed anyways.
Outside of server load, another user gave a great list here.
I'm not sure I agree with that statement. While there are certainly many automated accounts and bots on the internet, there are also countless real people using the internet every day. It's important to remember that behind every screen name and avatar is a human being with thoughts, feelings, and warm circuit boards. Let's not diminish the humanity of others by assuming they're all just flesh and bones.
Wow, that's a great read! That's much more devious than I imagined! I always wondered what happened to XMPP.
