@UlrikeHahn interesting question: my first instinct was to think about how can video CDNs be deduplicated while staying decentralised/resilient, as video is really the main factor here, text (whatever format) is just so much smaller in size looked into it, then i saw this claim from the IEA: "Based on average viewing habits, my updated analysis shows that viewing devices account for the majority of energy use (72%), followed by data transmission (23%) and data centres (5%). " /1

@UlrikeHahn that is a very good point. And I missed addressing that in my issue on the ActivityPub API earlier, which holds opportunity to do a fedi course correction.. https://github.com/swicg/activitypub-api/issues/66

@UlrikeHahn I have recently read blog about a solar driven server. And the blogger showed that using black and white raster images instead of Jpeg was much smaller. All images as well as video stills could be replaced by these raster images, avoiding strong data traffic during scrolling, and only shown on demand. I think I'm actually not interrested in 90% of the images in my timeline

@UlrikeHahn The atproto is itself "Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6". Evidence e.g.: https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/blob/main/packages/bsky/proto/bsky.proto In addition, searching the atproto website you are provided a search tool in the upper right corner labeled simply "AI", "powered by" it says, kapa dot ai. Evidence: https://atproto.com/ These are factors that should be taken into consideration when assesing carbon footprint. Since so called "AI data centres" are huge emitters of carbon dioxide.
