Erinnert ihr euch auch noch an die Warum-ihr-"Realnamen"-benutzen-sollt-Diskussionen aus dem deutschen Usenet es hat hier alles so einen ähnlichen Vibe

@marcelweiss Lange Zeit waren's nur 300 MB, das hat mit dem älteren Mobil-Twitter (was noch ohne JavaScript lief) auch geklappt ;)

@marcelweiss (still a good deal I think with the whole contract just 2,99€ per month)
fedi client data volumes
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but even with very restrictive settings (i.e. https://social.tchncs.de/@n_to/109292774036066350 etc.), both Twidere X and Fedilab use up megabytes upon megabytes of my mobile data volume for roughly the same amount of timeline reading that on Twitter Lite only costs me a few hundred kilobytes.
The Twitter Lite data volume is quite plausible to me, because the mere status text sums themselves should hardly be more than a few kilobytes, plus some tiny profile pic thumbnails. Could it be the case that the Fediverse client protocols themselves are just very bloaty in the data transfers they demand?
In any case this somewhat discourages my everyday adoption of Fediverse usage, because much of my microblogging reading is killing time while I'm using public transport etc., where I don't have wifi, and rely on my cheapo 500-megabytes-per-month mobile contract.

Many of these Mastodon instance policy discussions read pretty mystical from a self-hosted Pleroma.

This https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ seems a very useful tool, but I wonder why it finds almost exclusively German accounts, while my Birdsite followings are actually quite international.
@kluka Naja, für Öffi, IRC und den eben auf Datensparsamkeit optimierten Twitter-Lite-Client reicht's dicke. Nur fürs Fediverse hol ich mir sicher keinen teureren Handyvertrag!
@realramnit Thx, probiere ich grade aus, zumindest schein ich die Bilder-"Previews" abstellen zu können!
@teezeh Das war noch McSIM was nun wohl smartmobil.de ist den Tarif so aber nicht mehr anbietet … Aber bin grandfathered-in :D
@teezeh Hrm hrm danke für den Hinweis, ich überleg's mir (aber eigtl. bei mir grade eher Ausgaben-Verringern als Ausgaben-Erhöhen angesagt :D)
@benni Dunno … Aber ich bekam jetzt von zwei Seiten Fedilab empfohlen, werde es mal ausprobieren, und dann berichten! Das kann ebendies eventuell, wenn ich die Leute richtig verstehe.
