  • Its small size is due to having few dependencies and not having a lot of code itself. It also helps that I use different dependencies depending on whether or not it is compiled to target WASM. The library I use for WASM, gloo-net, is a thin WASM wrapper around the browser’s fetch API, which should keep the binary smaller when sent to the browser.





  • Depends on what you consider taking down. The fact that the project is FOSS means anyone who wants to can fork the code, so it would be hard to eliminate one’s ability to get the source code even if the main repos got taken down and the maintainers are detained or killed.

    As to whether they can control the fediverse in a way that allows them to invent reality like they do with mainstream platforms, I could see them trying to compromise admin teams for individual instances. However, unlike mainstream social media, our eggs aren’t all in one basket so to speak. They won’t be able infect the entire platform like they can do with big tech.
