Ridiculous.

Don't forget how quickly they shut down their Mastodon instance even though it cost them nothing.

    It cost them nothing? Isn't there some kind of hardware or software/IT/power cost for hosting?

    I'm pretty sure self-hosting a single mastodon server where you're basically the only person on it likely costs less than 50$ per month...

    That's a peanut for a million dollar company.

    If you’re a company hosting anything you’re a target for hackers. You can’t just set up a server and call it a day. You have to take extra precautions that Joe Schmoe doesn’t have to worry about. And it’s a continuous effort, not one and done.
