Bugs that lasted years considered less important than stupid new features.
Mastodon on a proxmox debian vm is lighter than I expected.
The biggest point anyway , is the trust on the development team.
@luca if the load is low, it's not that heavy. I have (had), a single user instance for some time, and it wasn't that loaded. And for large(r) communities, it's quite good, well structured and scalable.
I like it, really. And it's not a Mastodon problem, but a similar problem exists for all the modern stacks that depend on a lot of external dependencies.
@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe @luca@sironi.xyz have you looked at Catodon https://catodon.rocks/

I do have a quarter of an idea of trying to selfhost a #holossocial relay server, because I love the idea of letting the users smartphone be the servers, as much as they can
