    @freamon Agreed, it’s a silver lining post, for sure.

    But generally I find people say “you see, this is why the Fediverse/Lemmy/Mastodon etc will never take off” for every blip of bad news or whatever. But in reality, while the news sucks for .ml servers, it highlights the resiliency of the Fediverse - which is a win.

    And better to happen in the early days of Lemmy than when/if it got much bigger.

      Newsflash: It’s getting bigger as we speak. Prepare for all of the scalability problems now, not later when it’s even harder to fix.

        You say that as though there’s some kind of crystal ball we can all look into and see all of the obstacles that will need to be cleared and prepare accordingly. That’s not how scaling web services works, especially distributed ones that are built on a relatively new protocol.
