how much of the budget can a mastodon instance even take? like yeah sure don’t invest more into it but surely they could just leave it as a place for official fediverse accounts for their various projects?
Infrastructure for a 300 MAU Mastodon instance isn’t very much, but if they’re paying employees to run it then that will drive expenses up quite a bit compared to how it is with volunteer-run instances.

Less than €100 a month
Social media people only get paid €100 a month? I doubt that.
I was talking about the server costs. For less than 300 users, the cost isn’t exorbitant.
