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?

    I don’t want to know how large the database of, let’s say Reddit, actually is

    Too bad! There’s an archive project (from r/DataHoarder) working now to grab what can be grabbed. So far its up to 3.01PB.
