This is really revisionist. I have never ever heard pro-decentralization people argue that centralization is too expensive. No, the argument is focused on power

- dragontamer 3y agoArguments online don't really matter that much. $10/month to $1000/month is something that can be afforded by various hobbyists. There are limitations to what small money can accomplish, but these limitations are far larger than people may expect. Running your own https://blah.foobar.com https://blah.foobar.com community is about what you can accomplish with your two hands. ---------------- No one can make a "Reddit clone" by themselves, and its impossible to expect a $10/server to handle any kind of realistic traffic. But if you're just aiming for a boutique instance for your guildmates in WoW to hang out (and maybe federate over to a few niche Lemmy-instances like https://programming.dev https://programming.dev), that's well within the budget of small hobbyist weekend project.
