> The ActivityPub is a pretty messy protocol, and it also appears to not have been written with scalability in mind much. The thing does not scale to the number of users it currently has and there is probably no trivial way to fix it up. Citation needed, the thing seems to be scaling just fine for the needs of the current userbase. > There also is no real agreement on if larger or smaller instance are going to make the problem of moderation better or worse. That's the whole point. If you don't like how a community conducts itself you're free to block them as a user, or even as an admin. > A service like Twitter is much cheaper and easier to run if it does not have to deal with federation on a technical level We had that, it was called the internet. Everyone went to Twitter, because they want to talk to everyone else without a hundred accounts. We still have that, it's called Mastodon (or pleroma...), you don't have to federate if you don't want to. You don't have to like it. If you have ideas, implement them. But don't tell the network to change itself because, as someone said once, they were there before you and they'll be there long after you leave.
