I think the next stage is decentralized social media. Something like nostr (1) where there’s no centralized entity determining the algorithm to boost. It’s up to the individual to follow users.
Perhaps the next challenge would be human verification, even with this protocol we’d need something to index public people by to handle discovery.
Even before LLM’s became as mainstream as they are, most social media platforms were riddled with spam: affiliate marketing, drop shipping crap, and people who are running some sort of con.
This sounds like a microservice vs monolith statement in disguise.
Respectfully I disagree, maybe with more context I’d be on a similar boat.
The communication overhead is a real challenge to be reckoned with. I don’t think the mere fact something has 10 functions in one service makes it better or worse than breaking those out into their own services (not even getting into at what level do you break them down? Since most all code is a composition of functions)
Personally I go monolith first, then if and only if there’s a function of the monolith that needs to scale separately from the rest of its parts, then I’ll consider making it its own service (and this has to be a pretty large extreme to take on this burden)
Too many times I’ve been burnt by attempts at micro services, which seem to stagnate faster than monoliths at some companies. I also think there’s a higher degree of documentation each new service made, vs keeping it an endpoint in a monolith. But I digress
What Russia is doing is horrible. War crimes and all. However I wouldn’t go so far as call them nazis, think it dampens that metaphor when it’s over used.
Russia feels NATO expansion is too close to their doorstep, he warned many times and this is the outcome.
Obviously not condoning it, and it’s many millions of lives displaced and tens of thousands lost. Generations will be effected.
Russia using the excuse of nazis in Ukraine, and the need to free the Ukrainian people is a tall tail. Though there is a small amount of truth, of actual nazis existing in some of the armed forces of Ukraine [0]. But by no means justifies what’s been done.
Perhaps the next challenge would be human verification, even with this protocol we’d need something to index public people by to handle discovery.
