“For example, if every time I post a new update on BlueSky, if I had to send my post to every single one of my followers’ repositories, that would be extremely inefficent”
Somewhat ironic to have this posted on and activitypub driven fediverse.
isn’t it the opposite of ironic? they’re using a federated blogging platform to talk about a federated microblogging platform. they wouldn’t make a full length blog post like this on blue sky.
They’re kind of right, though. Basic interaction with ActivityPub even on a small server causes a storm of HTTP requests. It’s not very efficient, but efficiency has been sacrificed to allow for easier decentralisation.
