Is the fediverse about to get Fryed? (Or, “Why every toot is also a potential denial of service attack”)
@aral Might the solution be simplified server software optimised for 1 to 200 users?
@JackDeeth The Small Web stuff I’m working on is basically optimised for 1.
(The reason being that there’s a huge amount of complexity that is added when you move from 1 to 2. Or, conversely, a lot you can simplify in the experience if you’re optimising for just one person who is the owner of the server.)
But yes, it would be very interesting to see what design properties a solution for small instances would have.
@aral @JackDeeth I think this toot is the best portrayal of the need for a small-web alternative to the corporate insulation/advertisement model. Interaction on the web has a fundamental cost.
I'm with you on the single-tenant solution being the better one, so how can we build a one-click product for nontechnical users to easily own, maintain, and bear the cost burden of their own instances?
Though I'm not sure a really efficient algorithm can solve the high cost for Stephen Fry's instance
