   @polotek from people who have self hosted, as soon as they have non negligible followerships, the traffic apparently intensifies a lot. Is there too much handshaking pinging around?

   I feel like I've heard several times that the protocol is very "chatty" and I want to know what that means, is it inefficient, or simply required because of the federation?

   I guess it's connected to what went around the other week, some people realised just sharing a link on masto could bring their websites down?

     What are some high level questions people have about how mastodon works? Maybe I can use those for guidance as I explore. I'll share any answers I'm able to uncover.

     I'm looking at mastodon some more today and probably tomorrow. On our last episode, we reached a milestone of getting a local mastodon build up and running using docker. The docker part is important, because my goal is to get *two* local instances running and have them talk to each other. I'm thinking that's the easiest way for me to be able to inspect the ActivityPub protocol more directly.
