I think the whole discussion of the architecture was pretty interesting and gives some insight into what can be done by ActivityPub platforms to facilitate scaling going forward. There’s been a lot of discussion previously whether ActivityPub creates some inherent limitations on scaling, and looks like they’ve demonstrated that it can scale pretty far.
