   If anyone has any questions about the platform or the fediverse (federated universe!), I'll try to answer them! (But depending on how many I get, maybe not all of them ?)

     @chaeseco It's hard to pinpoint all the factors, there's a lot of feedback loops ("virality"), but I think combination of the 2 years of foundational work over here, Twitter refusing to ban Alex Jones, Twitter killing 3rd party apps, and other unfavourable decisions. From there, word of mouth, a Wired article today, etc.

     • bitomule

     @bitomule When there is a large community there are a lot of wildly different opinions. Someone still has to call the shots and steer it, make compromises between different groups; and that means a person to blame when it doesn't go your way. I am not perfect and do not claim to be, I am simply making this software the way I think is best.

     @socialism_doer Envelope pushing... That's a tall order. PeerTube and Pixelfed are cool and promising platforms, but they are recreating something that already exists, but with a federated spin. Federation itself is a fantastic idea that transforms the way these platforms work, but the features are not necessarily unique.

     @Ironraptor It's not ideal yet. You have to tell your followers to re-follow manually, but you can at least set a banner on your profile pointing to new account, and it will exclude your old account from mentions autocomplete.

     • LittleMxSurly

     @LittleMxSurly So I'm paying maybe about 500€ per month in raw operating costs (excluding moderators) for one of the largest servers in the network. Other servers have a lot to go before their costs rise close to that, and even then my impression is that it's unusually cost-effective, small companies pay a lot more to AWS for much simpler websites.

     @ChristopherHind If you don't count expenses for mods and only count hardware operating costs, 0.0025€ per registered user, but registered users don't really affect performance unless they're active, so judging by this week's numbers 0.011€

     @LittleMxSurly I remember @nightpool mentioning something like a n*log(n) scaling factor when it comes to federation as opposed to local user number. There's definitely an effect from a growing total number of users across the network, but it's slower.
