@aral Yes, running single-user instances of Mastodon is resource-intensive.

I don't think hosting costs scale with followers though. My single-person instance with 1500 accounts has tripled its followers in a week and it's comfortably within the resources available to it with 25 €/month of expenses. Load has barely changed.

Moderation and other costs however scale with the number of eyeballs, I suppose.
