It’s $150 to $200 a month to run Mastadon in Kubernetes, would ya do it? https://jmrobles.medium.com/create-your-own-twitter-in-10-minutes-271d26e7b186
@llbbl it'd be great to have an alternative that can run in a $5/month DigitalOcean droplet, no?
@radehi it’s too heavy of an app for low end servers. You need 8GB RAM and ideally two to three servers to break up the CPU load.
@llbbl But ActivityPub is an open protocol, there's even a W3C TR since 2018!
