lmfao

yeah that was my reaction to you baselessly calling this a DDOS without knowing the first thing about the resources the instance had.

It’s way easier for your instance to freeze up and crash compared to your PDS. My PDS runs on a small VPS, and no issues. Since unlike the Fediverse, the relays are picking up my events so I don’t have a shit ton of traffic to my VPS.

also I don’t see atproto doing this bsky.app/profile/gees...

Virgin link federation vs chad preview embedding

Sure, but you're also comparing apples and oranges. The PDS isn't very useful on its own.

nor is an unfederated instance on mastodon lmao what are you talking about

well I'm just talking about the fact that that instance is doing a lot more than the PDS. It is in fact more useful on its own because you can use just with local users if you want to. And of course it can be a peer to any number of other instances that don't depend on a "relay".

I already have an app that does groupchats it's signal

I’d say making it easy to own your data is the most important step of decentralization
