I’ve seen many comments and posts regarding the API fiasco on Reddit, with the claim that there will be a huge influx of users when that happens. I’m all for it, but I find it hard to believe that the average or even above average user will make the effort to switch.
Nobody really knows what’s going to happen, but it’s expected that a lot of sync users will migrate. But it’s definitely up in the air. But it’s good practice as a server host to prepare for the “worst”. As in preparing for the heaviest rapidest influx in users you can reasonably expect to handle.
