Wow, you’re running lemmy.world, mastodon.world, and calckey.world for 1200 EUR/month? Thtat’s kind of incredible. Lemmy.world says you have about 28k MAU (I assume that’s posting/commenting, not just logged-in users?), and mastodon.world says 37k active users (is that daily, weekly, or monthly?) So, that’s 65k active users (out of 200k-300k accounts) at 1.8 cents/month each.
The costs of community owned social media are even less than I had pictured.
Well there’s about 5 to 10 people constantly working on these servers, so if they weren’t volunteers, it would be a lot more… But yeah overall it’s quite efficient so far.
Naturally, but that’s sort of the magic of community-run initiatives. People give because they want to contribute, because it’s about making something together, and not about being exploited.
It’s just amazing what people can do when the central goal isn’t for like 2 people to become billionaires at the end of the day.
