@Cloudkid Yes it's something that I have thought about as well, it's good that people have created instances for the Fediverse as it means that you only access it from someone you trust, this will mean that most likely you would access it from a website/instance that you, your family or friends have created allowing an easier cost effect hopefully for the users. I know if I had enough money and time to work out how instances worked I would be creating my own instance locked to me, close family and friends especially as I trust someone I've met up with a few times over these billionaires that are making money from our data.
