@tyil @sun the unfortunate part with threads "joining" (lol) the fediverse is as more people click that switch to federate, the more databases on here get bloated. each passing day as somebody else ticks that box its adding more bloat to databases. fediverse was meant to be a bunch of small self-hosted and community driven servers (im the worst person to talk about this considering ~31.3k people) but a lot of people will try to federate with them and not realize the implications. couple weeks down the road their 25-30GB/year database is now over 500G and their machine is locked, they cant even connect to it. there was some thought behind it, but there was no reason threads should have ever added federation. at all.
