       @jeff Folks, if this is your server, and you are satisfied by it, please contribute as you can, as I do, as many others do.  Having a public square that doesn’t rely on adds, that won’t silence your voice and distort trends, that will filter out trolls and misleading information, is not free.Thank you and #HappyNewYear!

       @Fog @jeff this is in fact the strongest argument in favor of single user instances. not only do you have more control over what you see and what you dont, but it doesn't cost 5000 dollars a month

       @jeff @Fog @jeff I wanna know how that guy has paid $700 in one month just for the server.  That is more than trips FSE's costs, even after paying for our own machine.

       @Humpleupagus @p @Fog @jeff bigger bill means bigger big. idk, mine costs 120 bux a month and also holds one of the largest bittorrent open trackers in the world too.

       @Humpleupagus @jeff @Fog @jeff This box has 384GB RAM.  I don't think they come much bigger.  What the fuck is he spending $700 on?

       @p @Humpleupagus @jeff @Fog @jeff Masterbatedome notoriously provides no means of turning mediaproxy off and caches all remote media by itself. There is a command to purge everything older than N days, but as @lamp figured out, it does not include profile pics and banners. This could easily inflate storage costs in few months depending on amount of federation done, and I assume journos would want to keep tabs on as much people as they could.

This would be a sensible assumption, but incorrect.  Dude's account has a poll, "Should we unblock all the DANGEROUS MISINFORMATION on the feddy verse so that we can JOURNALISM?" which appears to have been answers with a resounding "NEVER UNBLOCK".

I guess it's for the best to both parties.

       @jeff @lewdthewides @Humpleupagus @jeff @p @jeff Is there a point blocking them when they can search your instance directly?

       @mint @Humpleupagus @jeff@federated.fun @p @Fog @jeff@newsie.social i wonder how the other softwares like misskey and pleroma handle it; ideally it should be cached temporarily then proxied on demand (it has to check for updates anyway).Well the BENEFIT of keeping it forever... servers will die; it'll keep the profile pictures on historic threads from rotting.And for a large server it's relatively small compared to your members' attachments. It's only really a problem for single-user instances on small vps's.

       @lamp @mint @Humpleupagus @p @Fog @jeff pleroma has a configurable retention policy for remote (and local) posts, also an nginx lru cache for remote attachments that are fetched on demand and cached locally
