I'll be the first one to complain about how inefficient and resource-hungry mastodon is, I dont give a shit that its "uncool" to mention.
I just want to be able to run mastodon on my server. But I can't
Sure, I can purchase a new computer with more RAM, but I just don't like that solution. I'd rather invest in GoToSocial development. Computers have been "fast enough" for 10 years now, I dont think we should have to keep buying new ones all the time

because if I did, my RAM alert would start going off. Per what I've heard from my friend who runs an instance with about 10 users on it, it needs at least 512MB. His was getting oom killed at that level. That's more RAM than the top 3 apps I have running my server right now combined
