    The materials to make the servers don’t come from nowhere. And the processes to get those materials are often very polluting.

      Bruh we dont have to blow up servers everytime we post and all the materials they are made of are valuable recyclable.

        You would be surprised how often parts need to be replaced in a data center. There is a lot more than severs in there to make all this happen. Then you need the device to read it on, and the infrastructure to get the bits to you… a lot of plastic in all that which won’t break down for a very line time too.
