It's possible, but there is no advertisements, and most servers are run by volunteers.
Right now, with current tech stack, which isn't most efficient I heard Leo Laporte who runs TWiT Podcast network and ~5000 user https://twit.social https://twit.social server it costs him 380 dollars / month for fully hosted using https://masto.host https://masto.host server.
Sure it can scale, it's not harder than newsletters, but it needs money, I have serious doubts it can scale without advertisements.
- progval 4y agoIt doesn't cost that much when properly configured and on dedicated hardware. My own instance, oc.todon.fr (running since 2017 and with currently ~2500 users), runs on a 5€/month server (HTTP front-end) and less than a quarter of the resources of a 800€ server at home.
