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?

    Just out of curiosity of running instances that big… How/where can you get unlimited bandwidth? By bandwidth, i assume you refer to “amount of data” transferred. What is the uplink speed.

      A lot of services in Europe provide unlimited traffic. That’s why most of torrent seed services are located in Europe.
