One of these days I'll read how #Mastodon works internally; but my educated guess is that a post going into the local timeline is basically a no-op, as constructing the local timeline is an exercise in querying all statuses in descending date order and filtering by mute/block/visibility/origin requirements; whereas a post going out to peer nodes and into home timelines needs a background mechanism to work out the complexities of who exactly needs to be fed what.
