Whenever there were incidents or similar events on X (formerly, Twitter), such as on July 1st, the Sidekiq queue in Mastodon would expand, resulting in latency exceeding 10 hours. However, no matter how many photos or videos were being exchanged, it seemed unreasonable in a network where text communication was the primary focus. Eventually, when I disabled all multimedia processing-related features, the latency dropped to zero.
