Is it generally bad to run a Pleroma instance these days?
I might have to migrate to Mastodon, but the increase in complexity (and server load) doesn’t really spark joy.
I mean, cpu time = energy consumption, and we’re not really swimming in free energy right now.

I would be super interested to know the actual difference. So maybe that's a justification for doing it.
Can you monitor the #energy #consumption of your #Pleroma instance for a few days, then bring up a#mastodon for a few days and compare?
@ciaby
Maybe it could just be done theoretically. Maybe we could ask some instance admins for stats on their CPU usage.
I do think though, that on top of everything else involved in having the instance up and running, it's probably minimal.
Related: I've had discussions about bytes-on-the-wire with people who should know, and the general consensus seemed to be that after you switch on all the infra to do so, the consumption related to actually watching a video is negligible.
I think it’s kind of hard to measure real consumption because I would have to duplicate the same number of posts, media and so on.
Maybe a single instance, one user, a specific set of follows?
That could work.
