Again, I fear it’s unsustainable to have a free (as in beer) social ecosystem when hosting is not free

  The #fediverse has a problem, and I’m going to be very unhelpful in not having an idea how to fix it. Once an instance gets popular, it’s processing, storage and traffic costs get prohibitive for the people running it. I regularly see reports of #mastodon instances shutting down because the admins can no longer afford the hosting costs. This will only be worse when #pixelfed and #loops spin up.
