There is some concern with mastodon and disk usage. We should figure out a solution - either with btrfs or cronjobs - or both.

From my point of view we should implement both and the priority should be:

Separate btrfs filesystem for mastodon with a max size,
Cronjob for cleaning up old media etc. This can be a bit of a rabbithole because Mastodon only has built-in tools for some cleanup tasks.

Getting the btrfs filesystems set up should in my opinion be a high priority because having one application fill up the disk taking all other services down with it is a maintenance nightmare.
