  • I can understand not having the energy to care about long messages from companies enough to notice stuff like this. Everyone is forced to look at tons of text / media from companies every day demanding your attention, “news” about stuff to get you to spend more time with company products, mixed in with ads, fake “updates” just for you personally to trigger reactions in your brain that make you feel like something social is happening. So many buttons you get shown about agreeing to something or acknowledging something or some terms you’ve never read having changed vaguely with “we care about you”, intentionally obfuscating which ones you’re legally allowed to deny and which ones are going to be forced down your throat in any case.

    They added this feature as an opt-out in order to capitalize on your existing relationship with your friends to redirect that social attention to their corporate interests. I’m happy there’s backlash, regardless of whether a user could have theoretically stopped it.






  • I want to say that with 0.18 the definition of federation_workers has changed massively due to the improved queue. As in, whatever is good in 0.17 is not necessarily good for 0.18.

    On 0.18, it probably makes sense to have it around 100 to 10’000. Setting it to 0 is also be an option (unlimited, that’s the default). Anything much higher is probably a bad idea.

    On 0.18, retry tasks are also split into a separate queue which should improve things in general.

    0 might have perf issues since every federation task is one task with the same scheduling priority as any other async task (like ui / user api requests). So if 10k federation tasks are running and 100 api requests are running then tokio will schedule the api requests with probability 100 / (10k+100) (if everything is cpu-limited). (I think, not 100% sure how tokio scheduling works)
