    But it wouldn’t be like that though would it. It would be public group.members() and the u8 would be private.

    If all the millions of groups are saved on a central database then making the size a u8 isn’t really that weird

      I hadn’t thought about it on their server side tbf. But the more i think about it maybe there are other compounding reasons to keep group sizes small, such as the exponential number of links in a growing network and such. But, that is all beyond my knowledge area.
