@mastohost @mark Maybe a pay-what-you-can model with a minimum purchase? I can only speak for myself but your work is fantastic and chipping in some extra to help keep the fediverse diverse would be viable!

@tweedge Never thought about that. That is something to consider. Thanks and appreciate the good words.

@mastohost @tweedge @mark Do larger instances entail more work or higher costs for you?

I like Chris's suggestion of pay-what-you-want / tip jar, but in the meantime I can upgrade my instance even if I don't "need" the extra oomph. I've avoided that so far because I've worried that larger instances have higher costs, and so the delta wouldn't actually go to you.

@dcreager Well, if you don't actually use the resources there is less costs for me. In terms of app processing server resources I do allocate per size of the instance but things like database or media storage, backups I can control the resources needs and so only allocate as needed.

In terms of work for me the smallest instance gives me as much work as a large one if there are no support requests :) Large instances normally do have more support needs.
