The plans are moving to pull the plug from this instance and migrate to a new one.
Running Mastodon really isn't fun anymore. I need 100GB of space on an S3 bucket just to store a cache that I can never delete, and 6GB of RAM constantly allocated by Redis or sidekiq just to run an instance with me and 3-4 more active users. There must be a better way.
I have registered a new domain, configured the DNS, and I'm currently toying with Akkoma to see if it meets my needs. I may also toy with CalcKey before taking any decisions.
Of course, I'll personally reach out to the active users on this instance to check if they need any assistance with migration / data dumps before it shutting down.
