Some day computers will be fast enough to serve hundreds of bytes of json many times per second.

  They are already if you architect your service for the real purpose, which is to store and process ActivityPub data. Mastodon however is a CRUD application that has its ActivityPub bolted on a totally different data paradigm. It takes a lot of computing to make it run fast. I created an ActivityPub service which (coincidentally) uses a similar storage idea as HN - raw files on disk - and it runs orders of magnitude faster than a similar sized Mastodon server would. Sadly it's not as fast as HN, but I'm getting it there. :D

    I think the person you are replying to was being sarcastic.

      they were, but the point was that mastadon is incredibly inefficient and this guy is making a more efficient version

    I see your profile is full of a lot of the info about this, do you have a more detailed write-up expanding on how this all works together?

      There is some documentation about various things[1], but I'm not entirely sure what you mean about "how it all works together". [1] https://man.sr.ht/~mariusor/go-activitypub/ https://man.sr.ht/~mariusor/go-activitypub/
