It is not the software stopping users from joining. That's the job of the authorities. It's the software enabling users to join despite of all restrictions. Now you can even circumvent a local firewall. -

@lnxw48 at least for my pretty restrictive environment it works :-) could only run !twister via tor the last months, but now: #happy (without tor) -

next time you have that: run it over tor, could indicate where the problem is. Anyways, now with version 0.9.30 (and more people using this version) it should not be a problem anymore http://twister.net.co/?p=531 -

I see in the FAQ (1): "Currently there is a maximum of 1 promoted message to be shown every 8 hours for every client, but the exact policy to be used is meant to be decided by the community." (1) http://twister.net.co/?page_id=25 -

I wonder how much resources it'll take (since one has to have the webserver + mysql/mariadb + docker at least). My !twister runs now for over 1 day and uses "only" 101 MB RAM, I have currently >20 connections to other peers. -

from (1) we can see the user amount of identi.ca had, but not all were active. Also, the operating costs of $6K-$25k per month for identi.ca :-( (1) http://skilledtests.com/wiki/Identi.ca_figures -

!twister also uses bitcoin technology, and from there we know there are at least 1 mio users (1). I wonder if sn/gs could withstand such an amount? (1) https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-users-approach-5-million-mark-2019-juniper-research-reports/ -

no you should read it as: the blockchain is a central point, so there must be a fix for the problem. If/when there is such a problem in the future. Here in GS people/devs can just ignore the #data_portability (due to prio, ... or whatever) and thus binding the users still to their original instance. if the blockchain would ever be too large: it'd deter new users (since y… -

Ah, promoted msgs do not show up in the user's timeline at all. Users have to click to go to the "promoted post"-tab. Those promoted msgs are for those that generate blocks for twister, a reward so to say. Blocks increase the security of the network as a whole to ensure that usernames are kept safe (not forged/replaced). -

that was a joke. I won't invest any of my money for troubling any user with ads, and won't like people doing that either. cc Johnny -

"this is not a problem.": for me and my ideals it's a problem. As I said above: I see since the identicalypse a huge trend to beehives, not that many new instances. In twister every user is running his own instance, easily. That's what I want. For me ultimately it doesn't make much of a difference if people are here or on twitter chatting. They do it on someone else's territory, no their own.
