It also adds to the deployment complexity even more. Just from memory, to run Mastodon you need:
- any number of Rails web servers (horizontally scalable)
- any number of Sidekiq worker processes (horizontally scalable)
- a PostgreSQL database for persistent storage (vertically scalable modulo sharding)
- a Redis server for caching and Sidekiq (vertically scalable modulo sharding)
- a Elasticsearch server for full text search (vertically scalable modulo sharding)
So this is at least 5 different server processes to manage, In reality for almost all deployments, Redis and Elasticsearch are unnecessary; the database can be used for jobs and full text search. Further, it could even be SQLite for all but large instances.
The deployment story for Mastodon is a nightmare and a substitute like Pleroma or even better something in Rust is necessary.

Well, you got #1 out of 3 accurate. With a 33% level of integrity they just might hire you.
I don't live under and don't want to live under either, because I am a radical anarchist and don't believe in states or borders. So, I did kind of answer your dumb, misdirecting, whataboutist false dichotomy with my first reply. Hope you are happy with the answer. It's bedtime now.
About to be one more. (In case it was unclear, this is a metaphor and an alt.)
You asked a completely irrelevant question to deflect to a different subject, presumably because you thought I was American. Unfortunately I've slayed a lot of tankies and I know your tricks. I'm not falling for your misdirection.
