The cost of running a Mastodon instance:
1 TB of storage (an outrageous amount of storage if you ask me) is what you need for 35 active users, and it'll cost you €14/mo at Scaleway (European cloud provider). On top of that comes €38/mo for the web server, counting in at €52/mo.
Can you imagine how expensive it gets for a popular instance?
