@tarkowski Costs will go up across the network for sure. The economics vary from software to software (Pleroma is a lot more efficient than Mastodon, for example). On my end, this unprecedented jump looks like it's going to cost us an extra $10/mo. My server hosts 50 active users. I think the economics ultimately work out better for small servers than big ones: individuals are more likely to contribute money when they belong to a tight community of shared principles.

@tarkowski This of course assumes that web hosting costs stay more or less constant. This might not be the case, and could be a massive disaster.

It's also a confirmation that many small instances are better than a few big instances, because it means fewer events to synchronize overall: in the most optimized case of one person per instance you only sync events that are relevant, none are irrelevant.
