Hey, all. I need to find some examples of small (like, Raspberry-Pi-small) Fediverse instances that shut down because the traffic was too much for them. Do you know of any examples? Blog posts or other URLs with explanations would be helpful.

(Note that this is somewhat different from the thundering herd problem when someone shares a link on the Fediverse to a non-Fediverse site.)

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://cosocial.ca/users/evan/statuses/115636246214613095 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
