XMPP is "my normal internet connection, $10 a year for a domain name, and a small ARM SBC"
@CobaltVelvet Yeah, maybe it's my bad in that I assume people are generally talking small or single-user instances in discussions like this
@CobaltVelvet If it was a public open thing you intended to offer As a Service like Octodon, then that's a more in line with this I guess...
@mhu2141ai that'd work with mastodon too if your sbc has like 4GB of ram, the main issue with that is that a good enough home connection is still a pretty rare thing these days. but for a very small or single user instance where uptime isn't the highest concern it would probably work just fine
