The estimated annual budget for my instance is $1334 and it's raised only $313 😬😅 my instance has almost 10k users but only 29 people have contributed financially. I'm a little worried now. 😅 #mastodon #fediverse #donate #openCollective #instance

I have a question for you because I was discussing this with some other people on here, did you expect costs to be so high? Did it seem like they rose unexpectedly out of control?
I was trying to make a point about the costs of instances being exponentially higher than what people were predicting at the beginning, so if you have any input on that statement I think you might be capturing what I was trying to say.
@volkris Hmm I think honestly I expected the annual costs to be in the hundreds of dollars but I was a little surprised when it rose to over 1,000. I also don't know anything about running an instance though so it could be an average cost of running one.
