I came across this blogpost regarding Mastodon. I would love to get you guys thoughts. This is from earlier in the year, the authors thoughts may have changed but not likely. Some points make sense others not so much.

Seems like a lot of words just to say that running servers (I mean instances) is too expensive to be self sustaining. I’m not smart enough to know if that’s true or not.

I host my own Lemmy and Mastodon instances. It's hard to say what I actually pay because I use the server for a lot of things but I guess the monthly price per user is about 1$ or less. The bigger instances are of course more expensive. That is why it is important to spread out communities across instances.
