    Yeah that makes sense, I just thought maybe that is something that would be kept in the backend and then just give the values to frontend. Didn’t know about the issue with network load, that’s interesting.

      Yes that is what it does, in the backend. Every time someone pushes a vote button though, the info is sent back to the originating server, and then it is sent out to all other servers that have at least one subscriber, so that the numbers can be updated. So this is internal federation traffic.There’s now a discussion to possibly pool all those internal messages.
