@smallcircles @ricmac yeah, all three (bluesky, beaker/hypercore, scuttlebutt) use merkle tree, append only logs?

@sam @edumerco @dynamic @flancian @Matt_Noyes @mako @ntnsndr @dazinism @[email protected] I tried it somewhere else where it was super slow too, which is weird because I thought Elixir had an edge on Ruby performance wise. Maybe that was similarly under resourced though...

@sam @edumerco @dynamic @flancian @Matt_Noyes @mako @ntnsndr @dazinism @[email protected] the last time I tried our bonfire instance it was painfully slow

@ricmac did you look into how deletes work at the protocol/model level at all? It's my understanding that posts are stored in a merkletree and are difficult to completely delete, as was the case in the main developers previous social media experiment (Scuttlebutt).

@flancian @edumerco @sam @Matt_Noyes this is great, thanks for helping push this forward. Definitely count me in for a meeting.

Reviewing the Loomio thread you started a couple years ago I think that @mako @ntnsndr @dazinism & @dynamic might be interested too?

Should we run a Matrix server?

What do you think?
Matrix is a federated chat protocol.
Running our server would result in people being able to have a @username:social.coop Matrix ID.
https://app.element.io is the main web client (there's also Android and iOS versions.)
https://anagora.org/matrix for my notes on this and additional pointers.

If I were starting a web project today I would strongly factor this statement into the decision of what technology to use:

I've been thinking about @molly0xfff's #xoxo2024 talk about how the web is still a vibrant place to work, and a place to support other people's work.

Is there an HTML pattern (#microformat, schema.org, well-known-uri, etc) for listing the people and projects on the web that you financially support? Maybe it just needs to be there for people to read. But it could be interesting to discover them as you browse?

@alex @wim_v12e I was thinking the same thing when reading that announcement. I wonder if @colin was able to tell what was taking up additional resources? I'm assuming it was some change in sidekiq workload, or how they do some aspect of the background work?

We've been having similar discussions about storage in @SocialCoop recently: wanting to stem endless growth of the database. But I guess that is the cost of operating social media with history over time?
