Let me tell you why: there is no advertising on mastodon. Online advertising require huge resource from complex "AI" algorithm to the exchange infrastructure.
Fuck surveillance capitalism and fuck that guy, how dense is he to compare SSL to bitcoin?

in reply to Ilia ❄️ • • •The centralized systems do more than just display a timeline chronologically. They also do data mining in the background to put users into advertising categories. On Facebook I think literally every keystroke is data mined. Plus of course there is the serving of ads which takes large amounts of bandwidth - something which doesn't happen in the fediverse to any significant extent.
I maintain an ActivityPub server called Epicyon, and being low on electricity use is one of its goals. You can run it on a Rpi and not have it make much of a ding in electricity bills. This type of system can scale horizontally rather than vertically like the BigTech systems do.
