Comment on The Slow Fedi Movement: Toward a Green, Independent, and Equitable Fediverse

The practical suggestions sound good but the rest of the blog post makes this sound like a much bigger issue than it is, I feel.
There are simply not enough servers or activity on the Fediverse to have to worry about this at this point, if you ask me. It could for sure be better with regards to environmental concerns, but there’s a lot more pressing issues I think.

I think it is a pretty major issue. A single-user instance shouldn't need more than 100 GB. The internet is too bloated, which is a democratic problem as well as an environmental one.

A single user instance doesn’t need nearly 100GB, so that’s fine. My own instance which is not even single user doesn’t even use 100GB yet.

Honestly I think a single user instance should be lightweight enough to run on a Raspi. Even having multiple. A lot of them don’t need their own frontends either
