if I may ask, how expensive?
GoToSocial is lightweight and super efficient and it works perfectly on a basic VPS (4 Euros/mo).
I hear that Mastodon is resource intensive… people recommended I opt for GoToSocial when I shared my plans to self-host. I’ve been using it for 14 months now and I have nothing but great things to say about it
