But… how limiting are the computations themselves, at this point? Since the Rexodus, Lemmy has only gotten smaller and smaller - didn’t we start at like 50-55k total active users, while now we are <43k, and that’s in total even while each instance needs to process only a subset of those numbers.
It’s worthwhile to think about future scalability, but features also help get the users in order to get the content in order to get the donations in order to keep the lights on.
You could be right ofc, I was just saying here that the reasoning process of Python being able to move forward more quickly seemed to make sense to me naively. But even there, mostly bc it allows for developers to contribute with lower barriers to entry?
