The funny thing about the pleroma database is how it counts total posts made. Do edits count towards the total instance posts? Does the counter shrink when users delete their posts or their accounts with their posts? These are all questions I cannot be bothered to answer because I am too busy sewing my seed.

@brother_tyler edits: no
reposts: yes
counter after deletion: yes, ours shrunk by 1500 yesterday or the day before when powah deleted her account again

@graf That is crazy that reposts count towards the counter.

@brother_tyler it's inserted as an activity

@graf Pleroma could have been so much more elegant without the mastodong compatibility considerations.

Madison (or maybe biggusdiccus) was asking me earlier about why we don't just use our own incompatible protocol for darkfedi only instances and I answered "Our users like to see and make fun of the mastodong instances even if they have us blocked" - although a simplified protocol that suits our needs would make maintenance a lot easier.

@brother_tyler wait til you find out about pleroma2 https://github.com/egregoros-social/egregoros
