Gregory's Server
@darius is there a point where it is unviable to run a smaller server of any kind? is that just directly correlated to the number of external follows?

 @objelisks my big fear is that if web hosting costs go up across the board significantly for whatever reason it will just be not viable to run a small server. Fortunately there are a lot of forces in place to prevent that (namely it would probably make billionaires less rich if that were to happen, lol) |
@objelisks I think we are going to have a bumpy period where Mastodon is going to need to seriously improve its overall performance. But I do think it will happen.
it's correlated (significantly though not exclusively) with number of external follows for sure. I am imagining an economics of this where if someone on a small server has a million followers, maybe the admin has to be like "hey... pay more money for your fair share of the resources here or migrate elsewhere please"
