$. Almost every reason for shutting off boils down to lack of financial support to keep it running.
Nope. It's administration and moderation.
Pay for that?
Nope, believe it or not it is dirt cheap to run one of these.
It really depends. It would not surprise me if lemmy.world needs to buy a terabyte of storage every month just to have enough space for all image uploads. That's possible when you can just use a single hard drive and put it in a server at home, but if you use hosting and/or want redundancy that can add up quickly.
We’re not talking about the ones where every person decided to sign up to though.
