I may have found the reason why the media cache is so huge now. Anyone else seeing this? #mastoadmin

@Jdm2 I'm on a 15-day cleaning schedule for media. Our numbers almost match up.

As an update: began rejecting new media from mastodon.social and now we are back within our plan’s media limits. I am not sure what is happening with mastodon.social but from our POV it could get expensive being federated with them as a small instance.

@Jdm2 I've found it very useful to limit mastodon.social, partly for the reduction in spurious traffic and partly to auto-filter malicious or unwanted accounts.
