So how does this operate now?
Sorry, by comparing now to what; or was as that a superfluous "now," like "come on now?"
Well the last one would have just mass Overloaded instances. Just wondering how this one operates differently to prevent that.
The relevant change is this: https://github.com/jheidecker/lemmony/commit/9b0b7232a1a942615eb67a34f2526328a23fcdd5
It's not meaningful though. It allows one to optionally limit to the top-n communities by active-user count, but the default is still unlimited and the docs still do nothing to explain the abusive load that excessive subscription puts on instances that host communities.
My dude, I appreciate your spirit, but we're not going to focus on your irrational fear of abuse. I'll defend myself for being accused of any such thing, or for being irresponsible. This is intended to make things better, and there's no evidence it's doing anything other than that.
If you want to contribute, by all means, show us where there is a problem, other than in your imagination, and it will be seriously considered. Until then, your opinion is still valuable, but you are speaking with authority about something you know little of.
I had no idea we were doing condescending pet names, this is a fun game. My sweet summer child...
It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out that global federation worker queues are not in great shape, or that a default that encourages single-user instance owners who have no idea what they're doing to bump their sub count 70x isn't helping the situation. If you think this is in my head I can't help you. But I can help others understand that running this script with default settings is an awful and unnecessary idea.
Your argument does not gain validity by adding irrelevant verbosity:
The linked issue has nothing to do with this script or lemmony.
That's a hasty generalization that you just made up.
That's great! I hope they keep growing!
Nobody is encouraging anyone to do anything.
That single user asked a question and got berated by a jerk.
You can help others understand what it is. That's a great thing to do. It would be nice if you could do that without being a dick.
Sigh. No. No, that's actually how the computational complexity scales and it's not a difficult analysis to perform. Good luck to you though.
Thanks! I'm sure you'll chime in when the lemmyverse falls over because of this irresponsible script.
I think it depends on your instance. This version (same script, just updated) allows for more options IF your instance IS mass Overloaded, or you are scared it will be.
