I was considering a single user instance but I noticed just how much data was being transferred throughout the day and decided against it.

I'm drawn to IRC and Gemeni because it seems to use far less data. I've lately been into lowering my electrical power usage while still being able to use the internet. That also includes the type of programs my computer and devices use.

Practical or not, it's been an interesting hobby for myself to learn.
