Google Translate:

First of all, the ActivityPub system is not suited to something like Misskey, which flows at lightning speed.

It was originally designed to connect blogs, small-scale SNSs, and wikis.

How can it handle the TL hell where tens of thousands of requests fly in per second?

It's based on the idea that it would be nice if various small services could send each other updates, so it's quite costly.

Misskey has 3,535 monthly active users according to https://misskey.fediverse.observer/dailystats

edit: actually fediverse observer seems to be unable to get active user counts from Misskey instances, many show 0 active users but with thousands of registered users https://misskey.fediverse.observer/list

Also as long as all the forks keep using ActivityPub, shouldn't it be okay?

yea but Misskey seems very popular, even just misskey.io is huge, this would be a big loss for the Fediverse

Misskey has been around for a very long time. Also a lot of comments here would probably be their own posts on a microblog platform.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a good news by any mean, but it's still not so bad if users who want to stay on the Fediverse switch to a fork.

Might be a privacy feature, I checked out the NodeInfo of one of the 0 active users instances (which I checked and did have active users) and it had "null" in the relevant fields. Only the total users were given.

So the data just doesn't seem to be there for those instances. Considering it works for some and not for others, I assume it's opt-out for some reason.

That said, FediDB gives 11.3K MAU for Misskey.

Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜
