Question for #FediAdmin , especially the ones managing a single-user instance (or just with very few users):

How much RAM is currently using your fedi software, whether it is #Mastodon#Akkoma#GoToSocial or one of the fifty shades of #Misskey (and by RAM I'm meaning "in total", not just the software's main process, also the database and additionnai stuff)

It's really out of curiosity. For instance, soc(dot)breadcat(dot)run currently uses approx 4,5Gb (4Gb for Akkoma's main processes and ~500Mb for the DB, on Docker)

⚠️ Mastodon and Misskey will never ask you to verify your ID.

This is a scam attempting to collect personal information and, in some cases, hijack accounts by tricking you into clicking malicious links.

⚠️ However, Mastodon and Misskey do offer an option in your account settings to enable two-step verification for logins.

For your own security and to help prevent brute-force attacks, it’s strongly recommended that you enable this feature on your account.

Fragmentation on the Fediverse is a real problem.

Hypothetically, let’s say I’m an admin. I don’t like "John Doe" (just a random example). Instead of simply blocking John Doe myself, I demand that "Billy Bob" — the admin of his instance — remove him entirely.

Billy Bob refuses, because John Doe hasn’t broken any rules. So, being an egotistical maniac, I blacklist Billy Bob’s entire instance — 5,000+ innocent users who had nothing to do with anything.

I also have 5,000+ users on my instance. Now you’ve got over 10,000 people who can’t communicate, all because of a personal disagreement.

This kind of thing happens far too often on the Fediverse. If you create more than one account (on different instances), you’ll likely discover people you didn’t even know existed — people you’d want to follow but previously couldn’t, due to the growing fragmentation across the network.

The scale of the problem becomes even more obvious when you move to a different instance. You’ll likely find that not everyone you currently follow can be followed from the new site.

The solution?

Right now, it means having more than one account just to keep in touch with everyone you want to follow.

How crazy is that?

Curious. Why did someone think it necessary to do sharkey and iceshrimp. What is wrong with Misskey?

I'm curious about people's thoughts around Misskey and its forked projects.

  1. Why is Misskey so popular in Asia, but not used much in the west? Why do you think the preferences are so different between the regions?
  2. What is wrong with Misskey that some people are willing to invest their time and money on separate forks (IceShrimp, Sharkey). What's the difference between the forks and the originals?
  3. Does anyone have experience running any of these? Do they have any downsides like, for example, a database that grows unreasonably fast or that requires too many resources?

so now that features are really starting to diverge between different #activitypub sites we really need a way to come together and decide how these little bits can fit together. for instance #misskey has a ton of features they have implemented recently like polls and reactions other then 'star',

the masto fork now.kibousoft.co.jp has implemented #bbcode in their instance and it looked like misskey is doing something similar with https://misskey.xyz/notes/5b7c8643894f8100445b1f28
