Yeap, all of the alternatives assume would be set under the same domain, or at most just broken down by sport.

If there is interest in this content, users will create a Lemmy community and post content there.

This is clearly not true. Content is missing and not everyone takes the initiative to post to help bootstrap communities. We don't have content here because we don't users, and we don´t have users because we don't have content.

Maybe they will even link to the sportsbots mirror.

Which would be fine, except that sportbots mirror does not have a page of its own. It is built in a way to just push the updates to its followers.

I had proposed to Lemmy devs a system to let people post ActivityPub content directly, but this was considered more trouble than it was worth (to them).

But don’t just set up a script to do it for you, that’s just something people are going to block.

Not everyone

Would it be one bot per mirrored account?

Yes. There is no information on sportbots about how many accounts they have listed, but I'm guess it's in the "high hundreds - low thousands" range.

There would probably need to be some fine-tuning about the number of posts. Some reporters post a lot, that could potentially flood those communities.

With options (2) and (3), I could come up with strategies to solve this. We could, e.g, repost only what has reached a certain number of likes on Twitter, or limit one bot to post only once per hour/day. Etc.

Even with Tor you also have to trust the exit nodes. So, yes, I agree you will still need to trust someone, but we can control/design to have less things depending on this trust.

Specifically with ActivityPub, everything is designed around the idea that the server owns it all. It doesn't have to be all-or-nothing.

The problem is the inverse. There are times where you don't want to be connected to any message.

Nostr is being developed by stupid bitcoiners, and it suffers from the same stupid mistakes as BTC. Pseudonymous transactions is not enough for a payment network. Just like pseudonymous messaging is not enough for secure communication.

You don't need to go full p2p. You can still have servers and you can still have operators who work to prevent issues at the edges, but the servers need to be only blind communication relays and routers.

No. Nostr is even worse because it ties your identity to your encryption keys.

And pretty much dead, I was following this project but they stopped development in 2020.

Just bullies who unfortunately think they own the place.

KenobiDB is designed for small-scale applications and prototypes. While it provides excellent performance for most operations, it is not intended to replace full-fledged databases for high-scale or enterprise-level applications for that you should use MongoDB.

Only MongoDB is webscale...
