   the fact that there's a mastodon.social username in this pic of Meta's P92 Mastodon client is awesome

   @tonyg is that you?

     @chrismessina @tonyg @alexeheath It is exciting to see more ActivityPub adoption. This is huge.

     @liaizon @chrismessina @tonyg @alexeheath Yes. Why would that create a lot of traffic? People have to follow each other first.

     @chrismessina @tonyg @alexeheath @Gargron do you think *any* of our servers will be able to handle the traffic from a sudden influx of lets say 10 million instagram accounts suddenly entering the fediverse?

     @liaizon @chrismessina @tonyg @alexeheath The hypothetical 10M users would not be on the little servers, but on Meta's. Unless you subscribe to all 10M, it wouldn't affect you.

     @Gargron @chrismessina @tonyg @alexeheath But even the last wave of a few million people coming from Twitter we were having little servers flopping over left and right just from all the new activity

     @mariusor @liaizon @chrismessina @tonyg @alexeheath That description does not ring a bell for any behaviour in Mastodon I can think of.

     @Gargron sorry to be a dick about it, but it's Mastodon that proliferated the behaviour of sending *public activities to all the instances that your users follow other people on. So it's entirely possible that at least one from the 10M users will be followed from every instance in the fediverse, therefore when someone posts, Meta's servers will federate with *everyone*.

     @Gargron @chrismessina @tonyg Eugen, has Meta reached out to you about this? Any concerns for a company this large coming onto the protocol?
