can we say that it is insanely cheap?
for an online platform competing with the big social media companies a total of less than 500 per month is nothing.
want to know the cost per active user per month and compare when Reddit and Facebook overhead.
That's specifically development funding. The hosting cost/funding is separate on an instance by instance basis, most likely the majority of funding comes from whoever owns/operates the instance.
you're forgetting about hosting, administration, and moderation! Don't forget to donate to your instance folks
Y'all pay your mods?
No, although I guess I would hope that instances take care of their mods. Good point actually
