@cyber_ruffy Didn't they break ActivityPub federation in general?

@foxhkron @cyber_ruffy yeah, they completely ended all federation

@lain @foxhkron @cyber_ruffy Oh wow, really? I thought it was just with #Pleroma.

@realcaseyrollins @foxhkron @cyber_ruffy at first they broke federation because they removed some essential endpoints, and pleroma didn't work without them after 48 hours, but mastodon did, so it seemed like only pleroma federation broke. in reality, all federation of new accounts broke. They then decided to quit federation because they don't like AP and it's to expensive to them (their words)

@lain @realcaseyrollins @cyber_ruffy @foxhkron
>AP is too expensive
is this true? I'd imagine that a centralized store would be cheaper

@fluffy @cyber_ruffy @foxhkron @realcaseyrollins well, not federating is less taxing than federating, but it's really not too much. you can run pleroma on the smalles vps on hetzner. they also said that federation only brings in 'lispy queer pink shit', so i suspect that the decision is not purely technical.
