Running my own Mastodon instance got old quite a while ago.
It is just a shitty thing to maintain.
I wish I'd chosen one of the more sensible Fedi alternatives.
I need to find a way to make this essentially single user instance not think it needs so many 10s of GB of disc space. It's baseline storage just keeps growing. My instance is at nearly 70GB even after a '--days 1' media remove.
