Unsolicited opinion: If #Mastodon wants to be a part of the #Fediverse that encourages small #selfhosted instances to be part of the whole, then it has to be a lean system able to be installed on (mstdn.chrisalemany.ca)

Unsolicited opinion: If #Mastodon wants to be a part of the #Fediverse that encourages small #selfhosted instances to be part of the whole, then it has to be a lean system able to be installed on second-hand/hand-me-down hardware and it should run reasonably well.

ElasticSearch/Java is a barrier to that. It is a huge memory hog compared to the rest of the system.

This was definitely a factor in why I went with pyfedi instead of mbin. (Nothing wrong with mbin for those who can handle the higher resource requirements, but pyfedi is leaner.)
