This will keep happening until people realize that:
- there is a significant cost to properly manage an instance
- there is a significant cost to develop sustainably the software
- there is a significant cost to deal with moderation
and that these costs can not be covered by donations from a small minority.
- johnnyanmac 3y agomoderation aside, is the cost any different from any other site you can host on?
- rglullis 3y agoSingle-user instances, maybe not. But running a Mastodon instance for a couple of thousand people is a lot more resource intensive than running a blog or a XMPP server for the same amount of users.
