@tarkowski Costs will go up across the network for sure. The economics vary from software to software (Pleroma is a lot more efficient than Mastodon, for example). On my end, this unprecedented jump looks like it's going to cost us an extra $10/mo. My server hosts 50 active users. I think the economics ultimately work out better for small servers than big ones: individuals are more likely to contribute money when they belong to a tight community of shared principles.
@tarkowski This of course assumes that web hosting costs stay more or less constant. This might not be the case, and could be a massive disaster.
