My issue with Mastodon is deployment. Why do they have all these silly little services doing different tasks? Inevitably someone's going to rewrite it all in Rust and it's going to handle 100x (without even being optimized/load balanced) whatever it's doing right now and it will be as simple as turning on Postgres and launching a binary.

From there people can choose to run external services to further handle load, but right now just to launch a small instance, needing all the crap that comes along with the node.js world sucks.

But... but... everybody loves microservices! (Or so they want you to believe)
