It's not cheap to run social media.
I used to self-host my Mastodon.
I set up the instance to heavily federate with others through my followings and relays.
The next day, my VPS reached 90GB of 100GB of storage, and my Mastodon website could not be accessed.
Other people advised me to use a VPS with 1TB or more for Mastodon.

@kaeurenne nah, I recommend connecting it to backblaze. When I ran mine, my backblaze storage would get up to 1-2 tb and still be less than $10 a month.

️@BeAware Seems like backblaze is a new word for me. Can you explain to me what it is?

@kaeurenne backblaze is cloud object storage like Amazon s3 or similar.
I would recommend trying to find an object storage service that's within budget for you, else you'll have to tweak LOTS of settings so that things get deleted off your system regularly,
