I hypothesise that the Mastodon federation graph would look a lot more healthy if running an independent copy of the software wasn't a full-time job with all-consuming system requirements, or if its users weren't so trigger-happy with FUD about alternative ActivityPub servers with more sane resource usage.

You said it. The alternatives I've been exposed to don't yet meet my requirements, but I sure like that there are alternatives with more reasonable requirements and significantly simpler installation steps.

You can run Pleroma, you know. I do and it's not a full-time job. Baiscally runs itself, just like Postfix with logrotate. Mastodon made certain architectural choices that made it time-consuming to run, which are not the only choices.

Also, allow me to interject for a moment, but
