Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

How is your RAM/storage usage? I’m interested in setting up my own instance (no communities, just a username that will always be here) but don’t want to upgrade my VPS again. I already had to do that spinning up a Mastodon server.

I’m up to about 300MB of disk usage after a day of hosting my own. Curious to see how it grows.
