It’s very much not. Not to handle a tidal wave of users, at least. Servers ain’t cheap, and media hosting ain’t cheaper.
We should expect a bunch of new instances spinning up in the next few days, though. We can shoulder some of the load. And a lot of people are going to show up, kick up some dust about how it’s not Reddit enough, how this button is wrong, how that feature doesn’t work the way they expect, blah blah blah, and then they’ll be back on Reddit.
The retention rate isn’t going to be great. But it will be enough to stimulate strong organic growth going forward.
Yeah, the organic growth is what matters the most I think, it’s the in between times that will be the hardest for the devs. I hope donations and more contributors will make the Fediverse thrive.
