"Is it really too much to ask for people to host their own content on a cheap VPS"

That is the most out of touch question I have ever read on the internet. It is hilariously ridiculous :)

I'm a professional developer with active AWS and DigitalOcean accounts and there's no way in hell I would spend time setting up my own mastodon instance. Can you imagine my tech illiterate cousin who likes to tweet about celebrity gossip doing this?

People hosting their own social media servers is pure delusion.
