Guys, go and run your own instances! Don't feel urged to run mastodon, there are other solutions which are not that heavy (or written in a language you might know better). Check fediverse.party and find your match. Currently, I have an GoToSotial instance for my family. For single user I propose microblog.dev Also I started implementing my own ActivityPub server, which primarily aims to run on small hardware. But don't wait for that :) What I already see is that instances get into troubles, not about costs. It's actually the other way round, they get multiple times their server costs in donations (without the proper business to receive donations) They lack people for administration, moderation and now handling of abuse notifications is getting a thing. And pretty much soon I expect first data privicy violations which end up suing the admin who is working hard on her/his free time to keep the service up and running. It would be really sad if capitalism succeeds to take down mastodon. It's the first time after email where a federated protocol got much attention.
