I have a < 100€ thinkcentre running my lemmy instance for < 10€ a year.

We don't live in the nineties any more when bandwidth and computers were quite expensive.

Also, if you are a content creator, well, maybe an online forum, or the fediverse, or the local library just isn't going to help you that much in sales. But if you do have something to sell that people want to buy, then there are lots and lots of places for you.

That doesn't mean the fediverse must accept ads or coins or other dark patterns, who are the backbone of bad capitalism, not people spinning up lemmy servers for free lol.
