@Regez@testing@fediversenews The article claimed that the federated model Mastodon uses is less efficient than a single corporate network. This may or may not be true.
Then it claimed that the increase in Mastodon users will require bigger servers. This is true regardless of efficiency.
It concludes that these servers can't pay for themselves without ads or subscriptions, and that's where it jumps the shark for me. The FOSS community has found ways to pay the bills before.
