So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did… you know… and we’re on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.

    Smaller servers doesn’t mean less work is being done. It means the work is being distributed outside the server farm. Quite likely it is less efficient, not more.

      Less efficient? How?

      And I’m pretty sure I didn’t say less work was done.

      It pretty much definitively is less efficient. Energy costs are a substantial portion of the expense of a data center so efficiency is something they pay very careful attention to.
