I was hoping they would employ both: push and pull. Some scenarios I could imagine pull being more efficient, and sometimes push. For instance if I run my own server I don't need to be pushed all content when I sleep. However when I return it could do pulls and then continue pushing. It doesn't look like it's clever like that.
- eropple 3y agoThere are likely scenarios where some level of push-based comms will be necessary, as I understand it. Direct messaging, for example, seems like it'll require pinging a server to pull an asymmetrically encrypted message, or similar.
