Porn is literally what drives technology innovation.
Porn on Reddit was probably a good 10-20% of all it’s traffic.
As history has shown, a lot of the features that come to Lemmy will be added because porn. Embedded videos for example.
And as far as I can tell it’s just pictures right now.
Let say you comment somewhere that you make minimum wage, their algorithm picks up on it and now they have you as a low wage earner in their database.
This is a massive over simplification but illustrates the point.
And done. I love federation.
It won’t be like this forever, simply growing pains of a brand new rapidly growing platform.
I think this could be a ticking DOS time bomb.
Someone manages to spam upload massive files to the largest Lemmy instances could wipe out a ton of smaller ones.
Not to mention scalability wise this seems like a nightmare… eventually the largest Lemmy instances will have petabytes of media data with 100s of gbs coming in per day, giving other instances no chance to sync with them.
I think the system architecture needs a significant review. This won’t scale.
