A missing key to success for any social network is tons of advertising and I don't see any #Fediverse trying to get that
#Wired articles and some name drops in #Vergecast and #Timcast won't cut it
Facebook fired an employee who criticized a coworker's Black Lives Matter response and protested the company's inaction on Trump's "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" post. https://bit.ly/3hkeCat https://twitter.com/Gizmodo/status/1272000835501854722 #Tech #Trump

@djsumdog
Is it true that Pleroma can access exclusively Tor users?
Also does Pleroma use #WebAssembly or only #Javascript?
Thanks in advance.

@alex @realcaseyrollins @shebang Interesting. It makes sense. I think back to how Twitter moved from Rails to Scala (and that was they days before Sidekiq workers or microservices).
There's a reason the Erlang VM is used for message passing in big telecos. The JVM can be pretty performant, but it does incur an expensive upfront memory cost.
@realcaseyrollins @shebang @alex The Mastodon frontend UI (in advanced view) is pretty nice (reminds me of TweetDeck), but it still has this terrible issue of, if you leave a scroll bar not at the top, your browser will consume 20GB of ram by tomorrow. (I should stop bitching and just write a patch to add a max to columns).
The back end does feel weighty, but the Redis/ES options do provide some speed up. It's all tradeoffs. Pleroma does have a lot of positive performance considerations.
