@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online while this is a known workaround, I don't think it's a tenable long-term solution.
You can have "real decentralization" without the quirks, too.
@mariusor@metalhead.club I realized after I replied that I think @reiver@mastodon.social was talking about C2S?
Definitely on S2S that's a no-go. There aren't enough guarantees.
@silverpill@mitra.social it sounds like @fedify@hollo.social was generating one activity for each recipient, which if combined with relatively heavy database calls, would scale quite poorly, even when processed asynchronously.
Batching those db calls is always a low hanging fruit in terms of code optimization.
