moxie said nobodys ever gonna run their own servers
that prompted a lot of pushback on fedi, just have to make it easy to do so
but also floated around this time was the idea of "community hosting"
and that stuck with me and is really resonating, i want to reexamine all my projects with that in mind,
- how to design towards federation
- it's good actually if you "don't scale" because you want to limit the size of each instance
who coined this?
@pho4cexa I don't know if he coined it, but Darius Kazemi wrote this section in his "Run Your Own Social":
"I'd like to advance the notion that software does not have to scale, and in fact software can be better if it is not built to scale."
@cstanhope @pho4cexa I did a research project a while back, and from interviews I I found that people from smaller servers had faster moderation experiences than people from larger servers.
