CIRCLE WITH A DOT

if you, as a journalist, refer to any baltic state as a „former soviet republic“ then you also have to refer to the USA as a „former british colony“. sorry, I don’t make the rules

@ryanc oh, that’s easy, actually. The answer is precisely one less than whatever the ideal number for your workload would be.

@aeva tfw tragbare katze

@gsuberland my assumption was latency and having to manage user sessions, but

@gsuberland yeah, it could well be that having just a client that can display things the right way is plenty enough, but idk about load

even irc *is* „federated“ in a sense, right? *relay* chat. but also i guess computers are very fast now so maybe it is not needed

but that’s what I meant by „getting into details“

@gsuberland @jpm i think mmmmaaaaybe (nostr-style) federated is something you‘d arrive at as mandatory because it has to be free and it can’t require the user (and someone making A Discord Server for their community / circle of friends is also a *user* who will *not self host*) to install anything but someones still gotta pay for that infra. So maybe that’s the easiest way to get there. But that’s getting into specifics already and feels beside the point, so I wasn’t going to like, open up Big Discussion (about something I’m not seriously considering trying to work at anyways, or if I would, probably legally couldn’t) lol

@kde great initiative imo, this would be potentially huge
