brindy, 11 months ago Self hosting #Mastodon is painful and expensive. I can’t even fathom how the bigger instances are surviving.

brindy, 11 months ago @losttourist I pay about the same for 3 users (though only I post regularly). I consider that expensive tbh. How does it scale? Like if I had 10 users would the cost per user go up or down ? I find my instance regularly craps out and maxes out CPU and I’m glad I used s3 or else I’d be in a real bind. And updating the software requires some sysadmin chops. All time wasted (and thus more expense).

brindy, 11 months ago @losttourist yeah I would expect most software developers to have enough sysadmin chops for it tbh, it’s just ssh, git and some run some commands I suppose.

PixelCats, 11 months ago @losttourist Same. Finding it pretty easy to run. As my instance grows, I'm more concerned about the moderation workload than anything else. @brindy @brindy
