@grin Ok, counter-counter-point: there were about 230M daily users of Twitter as of April 2022.
If we are going to welcome even a tenth of that userbase here, we're going to need a lot more account space.
I am sure that there are lots of individual server operators willing to go to $1K/month or even $10K/month to run huge servers, but I am also sure that a lot won't.
So, a friendly and hospitable thing to do is set up a server and host a few hundred or thousand new friends.
