@randulo possible someday, but not today? https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/977
@hugo I was not thinking of BW capacity, but clod provider charging for consumed bandwidth. I do not have direct exp w Masodon; I am exploring self-hosted comm (V & V) which could consume considerable bytes.
@hugo excessive consumption of bandwidth since the user has too many followers spread over a large number of instances
Hugo GameiroAfter doing more testing, I decided to go ahead and provide shared hosting for Mastodon instances.
This will be a trial but unless something goes horribly wrong, I believe that I can price it at €5/month for an instance of up to 100 users.
This can greatly diminish the cost of running small instances and remove the technical barrier from everyone who wishes to run their own Mastodon Instance.
Let me know what you think https://masto.host/#pricing-table

@hugo BW cost may be indep of number of users, how do you protect yourself against that? TIA
@kevinmarks @danyork If it matters which instance to join, then I am afraid that this seed will blossom into a handful hegemonic instances which will further consolidate their positions by restricting federation.
