How are y’all planning to sustain the server?
It can be self-hosted as well so that server is not essential to the service...
Yes, but you still have an official server to maintain.
In what way though? If you're self-hosting you just keep your server online. It does not need that central server at all to operate. Even if there are no updates it keeps running.
I didn't mean that all servers would require the central server lol. Unless I'm mistaken, the default is still the official server, and that server is still going to have to handle a ton of requests from people, which requires money to maintain.
Ah got you, it is just text though so the syncing is pretty quick and light. I'd say way less than any site hosting images and videos. The default is no sync, so users need to set that up to sync too. It attempts to do smart sync between successful syncs.
