Absolutely not. This is an average, I bet their peak could be in the mid hundreds of thousands, imagine a hype moment in a LCS game.
It can in theory work, but the real world would make this the most unstable platform of all the messaging platforms.
Just one vacuum would bring this system down, even if it wasn't an exclusive lock... Also I would be curious how you would implement similar functionality to the URL deep linking and image posting / hosting.
Mind you the answers to these will probably increase average message size. Which means more write bandwidth.
Some bar napkin math shows this would be around 180GiB per hour, 24/7, 4.3TiB per day.
Unless all messages disappeared within 20 days you would exceed pretty much any reasonable single-server NVME setup. Also have fun with trim and optimizing NVME write performance. Which is also going to diminish as all the drives fail due to write wear...
