I'm curious, how much does it cost you, monthly, on average, to participate in the fediverse?

Including voluntary donations to your server admins, fediverse apps and other software, your own server, etc. Any money you spend directly towards keeping the fediverse going.

For me:

$24/month for hosting my server (where I also host 50+ bots https://stefans-creative-bots.glitch.me)
$5/month for hosting uploaded media (this is shared among a few other of my projects)
I've also made several, mostly one-time donations to Mastodon-related projects and developers and I'm a bit too lazy to add it all up.

So, probably in the $11-50 bracket?

@[email protected] It used to cost me the electricity usage of my cluster at home :D Now I'm donating to the keep the gardenstate.social afloat.

I need to see how to come back to self-hosted again.

Ooops, forgot to include ~ $25/year for the domain name, which would be about $2/month.

@stefan

I wish I had the money to support my instances (both primary and the ones who host my bots)

But I’m also VERY glad that I don’t HAVE to pay for any of it as that would totally lock me out

@Alien_[email protected] I'm really happy that we're able to, as a community, split the costs and resources to keep the various servers and services running!
