@aaronpk That's not too bad! I had expected a much heavier message load. What are you running your instance on?

Keep in mind I'm only following just over 100 people right now. It's a bunch of hand-rolled code.

@aaronpk What's the unit on the y-axis? If it's posts-per-day that doesn't look too bad, but I suspect that's not it 😀

Yeah it is! well not "posts" exactly, but all ActivityPub messages received per day.

@aaronpk What determines that number? Is it something like the combined number of messages posted by the people you follow and the people that follow you?

There's a lot of things. Posts from everyone I follow. Replies and likes of those posts. If you delete a post it sends a Delete activity. There's also a *ton* of redundant account Delete activities sent for some reason too.

Pushshift is already seeing a larger number of server side errors coming back from Twitter's API. Approximately 25-30% of all API requests are now failing.

Generally we see a failure rate well under 1%. Error rates have been increasing steadily since Nov 16.

You're laughing. Instagram accounts that gained hundreds of thousands of followers entirely by posting twitter screenshots are losing the source of their livelihood and you're laughing.

for what it's worth: 10th floor, 2pm, 6months could very well be variables to figure out your source. If you send a bunch of emails with different floors, times and durations you can narrow it down to the person exactly.

If I were them I’d post the full content on the internal slack, which cannot be problematic, thus making it very easy for anyone to have plausible deniability if they leaked the information outside.

I've never been involved in this heavier side of network infrastructure, but I have reported on hundreds of cases over the years on ThreatWire, and how easily things catch fire.

This shit ain't overblown folks. It takes an army to keep a platform working as normal.

I’m not going to tolerate a cult of reality deniers. Simply mentioning that most of company (bird) has been fired or quit is not political or biased.
If you’re going to continue hallucinogenic nonsense to everyone online, you’re going to find it increasingly difficult to exist

lol I had someone comment a much more polite version of that on my last stream and I was just like 🤦‍♂️ I don't get how some people are able to ignore the basic facts, or treat reporting on facts as "political"

@aaronpk Ah. Weren't you the one who wrote it's PHP implementation? Or didn't you help with it?

I later rebuilt an PHP ActivityPub implementation as a separate service, API only. But I only use it for bots. I've been meaning to rip out my internal mess and switch over to that but I'm not excited about that project.

@aaronpk Isn't your whole site a custom pile of code? And that's why only parts of p3k are fully open source?

Yes, but the ActivityPub stuff in particular is pretty messy.
