> A problem repeatedly occurred on https://cauenapier.com/

People are flooding the channel with messages, causing the widget to use too many resources on ios; and the website is being endlessly reloaded.

Any idea how to fix this? Bonus points for user friendly non technical solutions, ie is there a way to design an online social space where people want to collaborate and their first thought isn’t trolling?



I’m not on pc so can’t inspect it, but make it a sandboxes iframe so it can’t interact with the parent site.

Is there a way to throttle iframe cpu usage ?

You could probably queue messages, cull old messages, cap concurrent connections. That may be the issue is too many peers


Nobody trolled it before the HN FrontPage.

Whatever it is, if something hit the crowd, you will end up with people trolling. No matter how much moderation you add.

You can check it now and things are much calmer and friendlier. The same if you go to other people's websites using TownSquare.

Regaring the mobile resources usage, I'll need to fix it. I'll be working on it next.
