We recently received a message from a concerned Rammy user regarding their instance not having an active admin team.

We have made attempts to contact the Rammy admins, which other instance admins have tried as well, to determine their current status. Due to their admins being absent and their unmoderated content growing in numbers, we will defederate from Rammy. If and when this situation changes, we will be happy to reevaluate our approach. It should be noted that any instances that have abandoned admin teams will be defederated.

You technically aren't wrong.

But, in my case, I already had all of the capacity paid for regardless. I'd say, lemmy runs me around 20-30w of load total.

30w * 24 hours * 30 days = 21,600Wh / 1,000 = 21Kwh * 0.08c = 1.68$ per month.

In reality, the power load is quite a bit less, and my calculations don't account for the solar panels on my roof.

Given, I have around 140-160T of total storage capacity, its not really worth putting a price on the small amount used by lemmy. My internet is paid regardless, and lemmy usage is typically pretty low (typically measured in Kb/s). So, not really worth putting a price here, as it averages less then 1% of my total connection.

If, I wanted to put a price tag on it, my labor to actually support and maintain it, would be where all of the money went to.
