@freemo @raining_night Fediverse doesn't have the massive datacenters the big nets have, spread out all over the world.

So we need to be patient, a little.

A relevant quote from an awesome The Guardian article:

"Aside from the energy required to manufacture and maintain those devices, the data they produce will live in the carbon-intensive cloud. Data centers currently consume 200 terawatt hours per year – roughly the same amount as South Africa. Anders Andrae, a widely cited researcher at Huawei, tells me that number is likely to grow 4-5 times by 2030. This would put the cloud on par with Japan, the fourth-biggest energy consumer on the planet."
