how much does running a mastodon instance of 1000 users costs? Disabling Images and allowing only text is one of my condition. So if I do that, will that change cost? I am thinking of a VPS so that i can have greater control over instance functionality

How much Storage and RAM will be required roughly?

    It is number of people necessary for instance to be functional as intended. I am trying to run an instance where only people verified using legal Documents should be able to post, comment, vote. That is to increase transparency and keep spammers away. I Intend it to be a political website I will read about GoToSocial and Pleroma

      I’d guess that whoever would be willing to give you copies of legal documents just to join an “exclusive” instance would also be okay with contributing a few bucks per month to pay for its costs.
