I'm curious, how much does it cost you, monthly, on average, to participate in the fediverse?

Including voluntary donations to your server admins, fediverse apps and other software, your own server, etc. Any money you spend directly towards keeping the fediverse going.

@stefan nominally I participate for free. But I am a paying member of a foundation that sponsors my instance's hosting service (Mastohost). And this expense is less than 1% of the total expenses of the foundation.
