If one can pay $30/yr for basically a private social network that’s garbage and advertizement free, I think that should be more popular. But to make that happen we need an even easier system to set up;
Get the $119/year package for 5 people. Invite 4 of your friends. Tell them that if they like it they can split the costs with you or pay it forward by getting another 5-package for themselves and inviting more of their friends.
It’s less than $2.50 per month, for 4 different services, and I’m also pledging 20% of the profits to go the open source projects.
I’ve been told by multiple people that I’m actually charging less than what I should. If you think that you can offer all of that for less, please go ahead.
These are for the people that just want to get access to the flagship servers and not worry about managing their own. Those that want to bring lots of users should look into the managed hosting packages, where they will be no hard quota, and they will only be limited by the hardware resources that will be allocated to them.
$29/year to have an account at Mastodon, Lemmy, Matrix and Funkwhale (with 250GB of upload quota to your personal library). No “setting up” required beyond downloading the clients. No ads, no tracking.

Holy shit that’s expensive.

I was talking more about the user cap than the price itself. Being capped like that is what makes it expensive.
So while it might not be that easy to win on the price as an absolute number, it’s very easy to win on price per user.
Not sure to follow, how does being capped make it expensive? Should the user cap be higher?
