I’m pretty new to the fediverse, and I find the idea amazing. But one thing concerns me though. How will server owners be able to afford to run servers with massive amounts of data coming through them? Theoretically speaking, if a Reddit migration were to happen how would server upkeep costs look like?

    I run a personal mastodon instance for myself and a few of my friends and it runs well on the free oracle cloud tier.

        Oh yeah, I’ve already talked about it on here. They can and have straight-up terminated accounts without warning. My case was much less severe, but I will still warn away anyone thinking of deploying something meant to be dependable or semi-permanent on Oracle.
