Sadly I don't find this surprising. The costs of running Mastodon instances at large scale are very high.B0rk had posted her personal server costs and I don't remember the amount but they were very high for the number of followers she has.
This will require real funds. And what happens the day a new gov gets elected on cutting costs? Bye bye Fedi server?
Apps scale without costs for those developing or administering them. It's peer-to-peer, so no servers to run, maintain, get hacked or censored. Fully autonomous, so no gatekeepers either, just each user and their data, their apps and their privacy.
