I personally love those moments when a discussion or post from 6 years back turns up again. Is that worth paying ten times the cost to maintain?
Likely not.
I think the issue of sustainability for instances in the fediverse is so important. If databases are scaling beyond the budgets of small communities then there needs to be some priority given to rethinking some of the core functionality in Mastodon code .
Can this be addressed at a design level?
