I host my instance in my house on my old PC. I'm going to pay my power bill either way. It actually autopays. So if I had a medical emergency and couldn't do my admin duties, my instance would keep on going for a very long time.
I don't have any users on my instance other than me, so I don't need to worry about this specific thing. But paying the miniscule amount of power that my server consumes would be trivial.
What's the benefit of running your own instance?
In my case, the major upside is that I make federation choices, not someone else. I prefer to be as openly federated as possible.
Hi bilb, this is blab. I just wanted to say thank you for your approach. You run a wonderful server.
I appreciate that. Always great to hear from you, blab!
