I once read on here that it’s counterproductive if too many people host their own farcaster hub. Why is that? Do hubs that run on slow machines clog the network?

Developer 🤓 build, develop and operate Farcaster solutions @ dtech.vision also love tech, decentralization, fitness and oldschool rap 😎

got it, thank you! Slowness and sync overhead make sense, but what is gossip traffic?

yes 1) slow machines clog 
2) the number of hubs increases gossip traffic and more sync overhead

It's not inherently bad in anyway, just performance tests the hub implementation
