On the Fireside Fedi interview with Jerry ( the admin of Infosec.Exchange Mastodon instance ) a scary truth was suddenly revealed ( on 34:11 ): Just to keep the instance up and running he needs to spend up to $5000 a month, pretty much out of his pocket.

But I just WANT TO RUN IT, without the complexity, overhead, and fragility of the network! @zef

In conceptual terms, this trend has become absurd without being funny.

But in practical terms, it is a major impediment to the Four Freedoms of Free Software, especially to the Zeroth Freedom: "to run the program as you wish."
