Of course, you can't self-host it. But this article is interesting because it provides a honest description of their stack written by someone who appears to be a true believer.

serious business :donor: :heart_cyber:

@silverpill 4.5 TB! $150/mo+ in hosting costs!

even if it was possible to host the entire stack, no one is going to pay $2k a year just to host their own microblog, wtf

@ceresbzns Yeah, lightweight ActivityPub servers can easily be hosted for $5/mo. Admittedly, we don't have data portability yet, but proposed portability mechanisms don't add much overhead.
