you have 5000 users on a mastodon instance?

i used to run an instance and i am skeptical of your numbers.

Yup. It’s been online for 7 years.

i am assuming the majority of those users are not active then?

are you using external storage for user media elsewhere?

do you federate with the broader ecosystem?

these numbers are otherwise nonsensical, a 20 dollar do droplet has like 100gb of storage space, and 3Tb of transfer, that'd be chewed up in less than a week by those users.
