Not just speaking technically but economically. As user number mount up their post is just going to add up. I know instaces may distribute user, but server space isn’t going to go down for anyone. It just seems like built to fall.

    Without ad revenue, I think server bill will pille up quick. I wish we could have insight from someone running instance.

      i think the only sustainable model is having a donation process built into the site. its very successful in other platforms.

      its that or ads. no one wants that.

      my storage costs are currently < 1/10th of the total o f my other costs. sitting at $1.00/day on one of the most expensive providers. my server has 12 users

      running a full cdn, cloudfront, smtp, etc.
