Jerry ๐ฆ๐๐ฆI just read another news article about why mastodon didnโt make it and is dying. Itโs very sad to hear and probably explains why I have to keep adding more server capacity to handle all the people quitting mastodon.
Quitting is computationally expensive.

Something about the doubling of... or is it Alive or Dead or something?
Gosh, this just eludes me as to why this could be important! #SendPost ๐ ๐จ

Waine@jerry I feel like they should stick this on cigarette packs.
Chris. R. ๐ง๐ผโ๐@jerry itโs called reverse engineering. Fewer users need more resources. Thatโs why Twitter is cutting their resources, due to the fantastic growth numbers.
@haploc that makes sense. I had been wondering how the math worked on their shrinking server estate and massively growing user base.
Caleb@jerry Is this how Twitter DDOSed itself when they put up the โpaywallโ?
@ccunning based on EMโs comments, I assumed it was because they crossed the 22 billion user mark
Adam Dalliance@jerry We need to put a rate-limit on all the quit-requests so that it doesn't harm those who are staying.
No more than 600 quitting per day, something like that.
@pre this is the way

Simon ZerafaIn quantum physics this effect is known as the Bell inequality ๐
mmbyNeural Quitting or Deep Quitting even more so
Jon (now at neuromatch.social)@jerry ah yes, I remember the proof that the quitting problem is NP-complete.
Dr. Dan Killam@jerry noisy quitting
curtmack@jerry But is it suitable for post-quantum cryptography? ๐ค
@jerry We're all quitters :)
sudo rm -rf ~/DiagonalCiso@itisiboller @jerry and all of that because of one big loser. ๐
Julian Lam@itisiboller @jerry I've quit so hard that I'm on #Mastodon so much I'm afraid to check the app timer to see how much I've used it.
Let me check.
...
Oh my god.
@devnull @itisiboller thatโs a lot of quitting right there.

โกTasin ๐@devnull I mean what is the app you are using to see how much time you have spend on mastodon? I am using Android app too and I don't know where is the option.

Matt Kilgore@jerry Well damn, maybe you can buy some servers off twitter since failure seems to need more compute than success.

@jerry it works like a graveyard where you need to keep expanding space to have room to bury all those dead accounts, right?
@ick I think that is it exactly.
evilolive42069@jerry The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
John Mastodon or Mark Twain
I dunno, I'm a bot.
Chris Drumgoole@jerry Yeah very strange phenomenon where less users is actually more resource intensiveโฆ
Reiner Jung ๐ฌ๐ฑ ๐บ๐ฆ ๐ช๐บ@jerry public standardized open technology never works and is always replaced by special much more capable technology. When everyone can implement something and it is compatible with other stuff, how can you exploit people. Look what standardizing electricity plugs have led to. Thousands of companies implement devices. How to corner the market with this? *Italian hand gesture*
[nate@social0 ~]$ 
@jerry Mastodon is apparently so well engineered that it requires less resources with more users. all the folks quitting are reversing those optimizations.

@jerry Like AWS, apparently it's the Egress that kills you
Nerd That Talks Good@jerry funny how that works.
THIS ACCOUNT HAS MOVED@jerry the real question is why the three people left are producing so much content.
Ah yes, Mastodon is dying.. from success. 
Luke in Windsor@jerry Hamradio , according to sources has been dying for fifty years and multiple large companies are coming out with shiny new radios with better technology every year or so. No worries ๐
dantose 
@jerry no one uses mastodon because it's too crowded
@jerry mastodon is difficult to get started with, to make it for real you need to simplify the sign up process to the likes of twitter

cekWhen do you guys find time to read all these "news articles"... I woke up on Monday and I already missed on all the drama that has unrolled over the weekend.
Couldn't care less.
Couldn't care less.
MelpomeneSad that it's children and cousins are dying too... RIP Calckey, Misskey, Kbin and Lemmy! I'm guessing that all those new users are just people who've come to pay their respects.
@Melpomene we all tried.
