Fediverse implementers must pay attention to performance impacts.

For example, when @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber simply replied to one of my posts, my server immediately went nuts. A smaller server would've been taken offline.

This should not happen.

Instead of servers immediately loading conversational contexts they should only do so in response to user-action. Only if Christine's followers were actually clicking on her reply to see more should my server be hit.
