@val
and this shit is why i am trying to get my friends to use matrix.
@juliebean Matrix still requires a powerful server to join rooms with a long history, though
@val
really? is it more demanding than a mastodon server? i haven't really looked into the demands of it, but it at least seems a better option than discord or kik or whatever.
@juliebean I heard that when joining a room, Synapse maximizes CPU usage for quite some time.
Mastodon's CPU usage is quite reasonable (but not its memory usage, because Ruby/RoR)
