Another Masto Instance going down. But not because moderation or something but because running bigger instances on Mastodon gets really expensive.
I think this is an issue that we need to put more work into: Not just finding better ways to sustainably fund the operation of instances but also the technical means to make running it on smaller hardware easier. This includes mechanisms to maybe push certain data into "archives" as to not have it in the live database/asset store.
