One of the problems with the fediverse(s) is that there are in fact cash costs to compute share, and we can't wave it away with VC and ad revenue. There's no economy of scale and complete self-hosting costs hundreds/month even if your admin&mod team is volunteers.

Which is why I'm really keen to see Canadian-built SMEs like
https://GoFedi.com joining https://FediHost.com offering pocket-change-coffee-money price points for managed hosts!

they do the sysops, you manage your instance.

With
#snac2 you can host your own fediverse instance on the cheapest shared hosting.

yes, I'm paying $5/month for a server running #snac2 , #prosody , and #nginx

(but it is only 1 active user on snac, 2 on prosody, and a static website with very little traffic)

Running
#snac2 as a #CGI (#FastCGI started by cgi-fcgi) your costs can go down to 1$/month. No need for a #VPS or the #cloud.
