@aral I wouldn't be so categorical.

> A single instance that can scale to host hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people

means that running an instance for couple thousands or hundreds people is becoming way cheaper, and as a result, more accessible.

This is the exact problem that, for instance, Matrix has. It's voracious, and a nightmare to work with, so just anyone from the street can't afford to host it. Whereas XMPP servers like ejabberd or Prosody can serve tens of thousands of users from a matchbox computer like rPi. So I can be confident that they will handle my needs easy-peasy.

And Mastodon as well is such a beast, that code optimization is way overdue. I think we should welcome it when the software is trying to get better, not bash its creator for it.
