   @nix That seems like a misunderstanding of the infrastructure. Each fediverse server (at least ones powered by Mastodon) caches a copy of the media files to serve to their own users. The increase on bandwidth for the origin server is minimal, comparatively, since there's at most 20k servers, instead of millions of people.

     @Gargron @nix Would you agree that Newgrounds has more to worry about if it becomes an activitypub *client* (because if users are receiving remote posts they might have to pay for locally cached images) than if it serves *out* of newgrounds to other activitypub servers?
