I also mod. !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world There’s no difference between creating a community on a big instance and hosting a small one in that regard. The costs would be the exact same. I’m taking administration into my own hands and taking that load away from them, and decentralizing which benefits users. If Lemmy.World goes down or defederates from another big instance or makes up some weird rules, then my instance isn’t affected and users have continuity even if they have to make a new account elsewhere.
The way Lemmy works that media is stored on their instance, not mine. The only thing stored on mine are posts and whatever I upload. It costs $5 a month for a cloud server. I could host from home but I don’t feel like messing with it and it’s cheaper than setting up a server.
Without users the hosting cost is very low. I suppose it could go away if something happened to me I guess. The point is that it’s a community which is completely decentralized.
Feel free to visit. !dullsters@dullsters.net a completely independent and topic focused instance with no users. I created it so that the community would not disappear if an instance closed down or defederated from another big instance.

Yes, they’re called retail electric suppliers. Some have offers to lock in a fixed Price for a year and others have variable rates. Then you can choose to have power billed separately from delivery or not.
You’re allowed to buy electricity from a separate broker than your “power company” so they split the bill between power usage and service fees plus there’s state and local taxes.

People with high scores are just early adopters who answered all of the easy questions. Hostile users generally can’t understand the question. The issue with llms answering your question is that they are going to be stuck in the current time period. In the future their answers will also be irrelevant due to version changes.
