Hello m@teys,
I've been waiting for this a long time (half a year), personally. After seeing the surge in piefed instances, i.e. blahaj, .ca, .zip, quokk.au, and .world creating their own instances, and clients guaranteeing future piefed support, we've been thinking about potentially opening an instance in the future. Not a guarantee, just an idea. This isn't a voting thread, just a discussion. Later on we'll actually vote on this.
Do note that this thread will not guarantee an instance; we are discussing a hypothetical. Suggestions? Ideas? Criticisms? make your voice heard.
Have a good week!

governance type: sense check
Instagram is written in a much more heavy python framework, but it scaled fine.
I'd be willing to bet that the backend isn't
Its the backend. It uses django which is more resource intensive than flask, which piefed uses.
Huh, TIL. Though some websites say they made the performance intensive stuff like image processing in C++
On python those libaries are usually written in C anyway.
