Mastodon PSA, mostly for admins 

@ikora @charlag it doesn't necessarily prevent scaling per se, but every new instance that sees a boost of a toot has to contact back to your instance to get the content, resulting in more traffic than without (where the full toot is shared anywhere without involving the original server again).

Either way the security improvements heavily outweigh this, and if your instance is big enough for this to really be a problem you've got other issues too..

But it shows why Gargron won't just enable this by default, since scaling to the max is more important than security

@dumpsterqueer it's almost like some people really don't want it to be enabled :breadthink:

anxiety thoughts on the capitalism 

@ckie yes but also i need it to get this brain running and it's strictly for community purposes (working on pixie pages and maybe gotosocial)
