#Threads gets a lot of blowback for making federation opt-in on their service.
But from an admin perspective, thank God they’re doing that because if 120 million accounts suddenly joined the #Fediverse, this could kill many servers.
Meta might have the resources send messages from that many accounts, but many Fediverse servers don’t have the resources to receive all of them.
This is why resource efficiency is such an important concern for the Fediverse at large. Hence why I’m interested in building a community of #Akkomane enthusiasts.
