How so? Have you guys determined how much it would cost monthly to run your own PDS node or whatever? Because that guy is talking about it like you paying a couple bucks like you would for a web host. I was thinking of it more like an entire Mastodon instance with potentially thousands of users.

I don't know the exact numbers but actually, yeah, an atproto pds is designed to be fairly cheap to run, for the same reasons this person is talking about

I'd be curious to see. I'm not sure what advantage one person would have running a single PDS for themselves unless they're really obsessed with privacy. It seems like something a community or multiple people would want to run to have specific moderation needs and a unique host name or something.

yeah youre more likely to want to run a feedgen or a labeling service (moderation) or -- again if this is where it goes -- subcommunities within the network
