I think threads like this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28440742 help explain the complexity of performance. There's considerations from the development process, existing technology, simplicity, and more.

Oops, didn't mean to imply that the community wasn't moderated or that this post in particular was worthy of a ban. The post was slightly negative so it made me think about moderation. Thanks for your work!
Meta discussion - the existence of this post makes the wonder what moderation tools on lemmy are like? And if there's systems in place to deal with unwanted content.
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/04-moderation.html
- Users report posts & comments
- Communities have mods
- Instances have admins
- Instances that disagree on how moderation should be done can block the other
Edit: Changed "unmoderated communities" to "unwanted content" to clarify my intent to discuss moderation in general
Thank you for bringing up Eternal September. I feel like it's one particularly relevant to the situation right now. I'm new here and I'm just jumping in and seeing what happens, but I'm aware that I should probably read more than I write.
I agree, communities take time to grow
Maybe part of what makes TikTok so powerful, how it categorizes videos in an addicting way, is that it turns the lurkers into contributors/voters by using watch time as a proxy for voting.
