Which one will be worse?

When the dinosaur-killing asteroid struck Earth 65 million years ago, an estimated 425 gigatons of CO₂ were released.

But that’s less than HALF of what our growth-at-any-cost capitalist economy has pumped into the air within the last 30 years.

Trump promises to do the next extinction at a wholesale price.

He's meeting with oil execs to extort $1 billion in campaign funding from them.

They're not "Masto's" restrictions, they're our server's. Every instance can set its own restrictions. Even with harsh limits like this, media processing and storage is the most expensive part of running an instance AFAIK.
