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?

    oops - Users is currently 38k.

    What are costs for other server types?

      $1k per month for 30k users is $0.03 per user. Usually when companies talk about price per user, they talk per 1,000 users or even per 100k users. 30k users should be totally fine on a bloody Raspberry Pi, that’s not a load for proper server software.
