Of course more than 90% of the traffic is still WWW, with graphics... [23:53] schestowitz__ I've just done a quick search on the past week's logs and it says your video artwork gets on average about 1000 requests per day. That number will increase over time.

[23:56] schestowitz__ PrivacyMatters [23:56] schestowitz__ PrivacyMatters - 11 days ago [23:56] schestowitz__ @Giacomo Sansoni Personally, I think that control on a singular user level is a different beast. I run my own private instance because I want that level of control for myself. It is my instance and as such I reserve the right to curate it as I see fit. That said, those decisions dont end up censoring opposing views to the rest of the #Fediverse. To that end, #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #Friendica, #Diaspora and others are good. [23:56] schestowitz__ If, on the other hand, you subscribe to an instance, particularly one serving as a home to many users, and you are not the owner of the node, there remains the possibility that you could be censored or kicked off completely if the owner decides to do so. The major difference, absent everything else I have said, is that a corporate monolith isnt silencing you at will and isnt in control of your data. [23:56] schestowitz__ Just my thought. . . .

Was it expensive?
