What would it cost to run the #fediverse at scale? With billions instead of millions of users?

What does it cost to run a social network anyway? According to the annual reports of two companies that should know, the comparable seems to be about $1-$2 per user per month. And that's after stripping out a bunch of costs, like us not building ad tech in the fediverse.

Have better numbers? I'd love to see them!

@j12t I’m paying $9/month for my #DigitalOcean droplet and extra disk space. (One user - me)

But I could scale to many more users without additional costs…

Hey tech friends. I'm wondering about alternatives to stripe, specifically to stripe connect for split payouts. Anybody have any opinions about these European alternatives? https://european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/stripe

I see others like these but many of them have U.S. headquarters. https://tipalti.com/resources/learn/stripe-competitors-and-alternatives/

edit/added couple more tags for visibility.
