The funniest thing about Truth Social is that it’s a fork of Mastodon.
Mastodon.world cost $1200 to run last month. And running it was hobby-level effort by a guy who admins lemmy.world AND has a proper day job and family.
They’re selling ads and have a couple web devs to tweak their version of Mastodon, and they can’t even pull in enough ad revenue to make that work. 😆
How the hell is M.World costing $1200 a month ! ? Its not that heavy on activity. Uni or Mastodonapp.uk probably has more and costs less to run. I mean I run cupoftea.social with 5000 users at £80 a month.
The $1200 is for both mastodon.world and lemmy.world combined, but yeah. Most of it (80%) is going towards Hetzner, which is their cloud storage/hosting provider.

Fucking clown shoes.
Just means it’s another grift where someone is getting paid but the people doing the actual work probably aren’t.
TIL lmao

It’s so nice to see someone else use “fucking clown shoes” as an insult. Made my day 🤣
Holy shit that’s funny.
