Interesting #Mastodon criticism, mostly on account of scaling. Have to admit I still have no idea what to do next when our tiny instance that I run exceeds its current Masto.host plan. justingarrison.com/blog/2023-0…
Mastodon Is Doomed
Mastodon won't be the next Twitter, and it's not because of Bluesky. The ideals and execution won't scale.justingarrison.com

in reply to Tomáš Znamenáček • • •This is a general problem of scaling and it's mostly about data transfer/storage.
Cloud has a poor unit cost at small scale. Small instance owners pay 100x the amount of large ones per transferred/stored GB.
But once the celebrities join, you can exit the cloud and cut the cost. 37signals cloud exit is an awesome scaling case study for this.
