@aral @ai6yr @paul It's scary how effective it is... they receive far too little public scrutiny imo.

@aral @ai6yr @paul Literally from Mozilla.org

@ai6yr @paul It's just amusing to me that Mozilla gets on an ethical high horse about not being like other Silicon Valley tech companies, when it's really run no differently than a bad startup.

Putting this here so I’m motivated to finish up the spec https://socialjson.org

Seeing more sites and news outlets have stopped updating their RSS feeds. Not a good sign.

I'm less concerned about AI reaching sentience, and more concerned about the hucksters who will extract huge profits from the non-technical masses by convincing them it has.

@aral @dominick @mastohost I'd be curious to know how many outgoing HTTP requests per second are occurring and whether *that* is the bottleneck vs. Sidekiq itself.

It's hard to get away from chattiness if you want to remain decentralized - but 3k requests per second should be a walk in the park even on fairly modest hardware.

@aral It looks like you're running a single user instance, how could performance be that bad? Is it because of your # of followers?

@dominick Actually... reading into this a bit more. Sending 3k HTTP requests shouldn't be a lot of work, this sounds more like a Sidekiq issue specifically. Hmm.

@dominick Wow, that's unsustainable and a huge problem.
