I'm pretty new to the fediverse, and I find the idea amazing. But one thing concerns me though. How will server owners be able to afford to run servers with massive amounts of data coming through them? Theoretically speaking, if a Reddit migration were to happen how would server upkeep costs look like?

Beehaw showed their finances open, it was smth like 60 bucks/month in expenses and 720 bucks or smth they got through donations last month, so it seems pretty good
