@realcaseyrollins I'm interested in the development of small communities similar to how the internet was in the early aughts. Breaking things up while still having interoperability is the best method forward.
I’m just a basic white guy. I know. And even I can’t IMAGINE a world in which I attack two cops, punch them in the face, steal their weapon and NOT get shot. #AtlantaShooting #RayshardBrooks https://twitter.com/scrowder/status/1271918203351023617 #Crowder #Shot

HAPPENING NOW: The Wendy’s where #RayshardBrooks was killed by Atlanta police has been set on fire. The restaurant is next door to a BP gas station & there is no sign of firefighters. https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1271997888562896896 #News #Breaking #Atlanta #Killed

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.
