    So I'm just wondering... With static assets like images, adding an edge CDN is relatively simple. But with anything dynamic like API responses, not so much. There must be ways of dealing with that. Because, let's say my servers are in Germany, and you are in Australia. Any API response for you takes up to 800ms longer than for me.

    The solution is not trivial. API servers distributed in multiple data centers, and eventually you'll end up needing databases in multiple regions too. That'll lead you down to the multi-primary database problem.

    Ironically this is the thing ActivityPub promised to solve by having people use a large number of smaller servers where the replication of data is the ActivityPub protocol.

      @aaronpk I'm not saying this is necessary to do here. There's a number of region-specific Mastodon servers for which this issue will never exist.
