The problem with the Fediverse right now isn't technological, or even scale. 🧵

It's knowledge onboarding.

Most performance problems with the Fediverse would dissipate if the bulk of users would go to small instance or self-host themselves.

Instead, they go to big instances under the mistaken impression that:

1. Big instances have better performance -- nope!
2. Big instances give them better reach and discoverability -- nope!
3. Bigger instances are better maintained -- nope!
