@fastfinge@interfree.cacriticism of bluesky as I come to understand it more deeply
For some comparison, my single-user #iceshrimp instance is currently using about 3 gigs of ram, and 2 gigs or so of SSD. And that's huge! I have compute to throw at it, so I joined all of the large relays, I follow several hundred people, and I turned all of the configuration nobs as hard as I could to optimize for speed, rather than limiting resources. If you want to host yourself a home on the #fediverse, your resource usage is going to be significantly less than mine. But unlike with #bluesky, you'll be controlling all of the infrastructure you need.
