like this - keep attendee count - do not include attendee profiles - notify users list is hidden on behalf of host yes it's ultimately public but we don't have to advertise

"europe is not sovereign, we are a client state of the usa"

mastodon conversation that reads:

"20,000 mail accounts.
20,000 blogs.
5,000 mailing lists.
1,500 websites.
In Europe.
Run by volunteers of @cavallette, perfectly legal, and decidedly antifascist, feminist, queer.
Destroyed and shut down by Trump's administration, extra legally.
It is astonishingly quiet."

and a reply that says:
"Not a judge, a court, or jury had anything to say about it.
Europe is not sovereign, we are a client state of the USA."

like - this woman wasn't even present when benjamin song shot an officer; she was down the road ... but she had an anarchist book club sentenced 50 years

screenshot of the article that reads: "Elizabeth Soto: Ran a local anarchist book club with her husband and published radical zines, which prosecutors claimed were part of an antifa recruitment effort. Sentence: 50 years."

in case you missed it, the u.s. state dept just designated an italian activist collective as a terrorist group here's why that statement is especially interesting

screenshot of the press release, with the following portion highlighted: "A/I’s cadre of radical hackers and tech developers provide a full spectrum of services – including encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming, anonymity shields, and a suite of other technological tools – to Marxist, anarchist, and other left-wing extremist groups in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere. These tools are specifically designed to support the operations of far-left terrorist networks, built to enable them to organize, recruit, communicate, disseminate propaganda, share target information and tactics, and carry out violent attacks – all while remaining anonymous, untraceable, and beyond the reach of the law."

but what actually makes this all "scalable" is this

okay so i finally read this and, with the help of gemini, got some questions answered basically what threw me off was this part:

snippet of the documentation that says: "This is pretty good, but we're building a social network with hundreds of millions of users; even this model hits limits. The problem is that our SQL database is 'strongly consistent' which means the state is kept uniformly in sync across the system. Maintaining strong consistency incurs a performance cost which becomes our bottleneck.

If we can relax our system to use 'eventual consistency,' we can scale much further. We start by switching to a NoSQL cluster."

it's actually a good idea to keep a notebook beside you so you can track their state over time in case you need to get additional help get their baseline state returning back to baseline is positive
