Twitter makes -200m a year hosting their solution.
Mastodon by contrast spreads out this load to servers paid for by users, not by ads.
If you cannot join any servers, pay for a managed hosting provider to spin one up, or host yourself on a vps or a home server.
- whimsicalism 4y agoThat may be well and true, but seems unrelated to the point i am making, which is that I would expect a single instance to be able to handle a few thousand users.
- lrvick 4y agoSure one instance could support that if you pay amazon $2k/mo for a monster instance, but most do not have that kind of money to donate. Most servers will be small, or you can host your own.
- whimsicalism 4y agoI think we are talking past each other.

- cactusplant7374 4y agoI hear you. It would be cool if someone rewrote it with a Crystal framework. Although there are limitations to this because it's faster than Ruby and similar to Ruby but not completely like Ruby. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33398253 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33398253
