Christopher Hotchkiss<p>Looking at discussions around Twitter, I’m curious to see how Mastodon is going to handle the bot networks that have plagued Twitter and other big platforms.</p><p>I feel like if the number of users in each instance stays in the thousands, there might be a rise in reputation systems and/or automated banning of instances that produce mass bot postings. Otherwise as Mastodon grows our poor admins are going to have a rotten time banning spammy instance after instance.<br><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/scalingMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scalingMastodon</span></a></p>
Alex Levenson<p>If anyone has any writeups or blog posts that go in depth on mastodon’s systems architecture and scaling challenges, I’d love to read them. I’ve been curious what the scaling bottlenecks are for a single instance, and what parts of it could be distributed. I know that fundamentally the push model will struggle as the cross product of servers talking to servers grows, but I imagine well before that there are single instance scaling challenges as well? <a href="https://macaw.social/tags/scalingMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scalingMastodon</span></a></p>
Hrefna (DHC)<p>A few quick thoughts about <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PSQL" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PSQL</span></a> as a database and some things that new administrators running <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mastodon</span></a> instances may not realize</p><p>First, PSQL is _incredibly_ sensitive to the number of connections you have at a given time. The more connections, the worse your system is going to perform. While it can be tempting to just up the number of maximum connections for the purposes of Sidekiq you should almost certainly not do that arbitrarily 1/</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Postgres" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Postgres</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ScalingMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ScalingMastodon</span></a></p>

Hrefna (DHC)<p>“You can just build your own!” Is so much condescending nonsense. </p><p>I know exactly how much work goes into “building your own” and the skill sets involved. Sure, it’s a nice feature of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OpenSource</span></a>, but only in the general sense, not as an imperative statement for when people have problems.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ScalingMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ScalingMastodon</span></a></p>
