2 years ago I talked about the core problem with federated services was the abismal scale ability.
I essentially got ridiculed.
And here we are, with incredibly predictable scaling problems.
If we refuse to acknowledge problems till they become critical, we will never grow past a blip on the corner of the internet. Protocol development is HARD and expensive.
Lemmy also doesn’t make that easy, since it’s not like e.g. Reddit or the phpBB forums of old, where everyone moderates on their own turf only, but each instance has to essentially moderate all other communities on all other instances too.

Yeah, volunteer moderation is also an issue, any decent ppl doing it get burnt out if they get an influx of ppl and quit also like lemm.ee
