I understand. But the point I am trying to make is that makes no sense to worry about technical issues now. Not only it is a premature optimization, it is the kind of metric that is actually damaging to us.
What do you prefer? A server that can handle hundreds of thousands of users with 5 nines of uptime, focuses on "Web Scale" and ends up replicating all the issues from Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Reddit, or an instance that is more aligned with the ideas of the SmolWeb and that is more likely to be a net-positive force in your life?
