I wonder if the fediverse is worse for the planet than Twitter was? Surely a few massive data centers use less water and power than thousands of servers spread out all over the place, right? Not to mention the extra internet traffic, content and infrastructure duplication etc. If we really care about the environment, shouldn’t we be championing massive centralization?

@fastfinge If you want to put it in those terms, why not just ban all computer and technology planet-wide? Surely that will save it. There is no correct answers to the environment crisis. Energy can not be created or destroyed, only transformed. I say that humanity has a lot bigger fish to fry on the environment issue.

Dark thought @adam Well, yes. When we create true AI, the first thing it’ll do is eliminate humanity. It may be correct to do so.
