Here's a fun data fact.

Today around 10am I opted back in to Mastodon's discovery features, and my server immediately went "wowie zowie" (that's a technical term).

It's no slouch of a server, either- a VPS running with two cores and 4GB of RAM. And it's always much slower when I turn those discovery features on.

A CPU graph from my Mastodon server showing heavy usage (over 100% CPU) starting around 10am today.
