@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online while this is a known workaround, I don't think it's a tenable long-term solution.
You can have "real decentralization" without the quirks, too.
@philipp@social.anoxinon.de I kind of think this is really missing the forest for the trees if your rational is CO2 emissions...
I mean, a far greater generator of CO2 emissions would be every single Mastodon instance caching every piece of media it sees...
@willi@social.tchncs.de a VPS can be had from DigitalOcean or Vultr quite economically (although I know that isn't always the case in some countries)
