I can't stop thinking about the huge amount of HTTP requests that mastodon performs just to federate this post.

On the project I work we are always trying to limit the amount of requests from UI to backend even when gRPC is the bus.

Take an account with 100k followers, federating with multiple instances, a simple shitpost would require thousands of HTTP posts.

Is the Fediverse consuming too much energy and resources?

    @manualdousuario Interesting that the post mentions GotoSocial as the promising problem solver, I have high hopes it will become a good replacement.

    It is not very lightweight, I made some comparisons and it still uses high CPU and RAM relatively to what it does.

    The Wordpress plugin can also handle ActivityPub requests and I don't understand yet how it does without losing messages, but it is very lightweight.

    @manualdousuario And it is just amazing that we are discussing this based on real data.

    We can only imagine how much resources the private platforms uses.

    @manualdousuario It is possible to do everything, I am running a WP on @rochacbruno and there I have AP, Friends, MastoApps, Webfinger plugins and it works im a very similar way, there is a timeline in the admin, you can search and follow profiles, interact etc.
