With Meta starting to actually implement ActivityPub, I think it would be a good idea to remind everyone of what they are most likely going to do.

    Meta out scales the entire project. Google says 141 million users. Its the scale of pissing into the ocean.

    Not too familiar with the back end stuff, but would federation data from Meta just DDOS a server not worth millions?

      Meta does, but I’m not sure threads does.

      I know people on facebook, but I don’t know anyone on threads, even if it is owned by meta.

      I expect activitypub to be relatively scalable. As long as meta isn’t doing something stupid like trying to federate everything to everyone, the traffic should be limited to the users that have connected to each other. There are already absolutely gargantuan instances out there with millions of users that federate just fine with tiny instances.
