@fireweed@urusai.social not really.
6$ a month could host me misskey (at least temporarly) but now that i'm migrating to snac, it could be even cheaper.
and if you already have a stable internet and a raspberry pi at home, you can even self host, and you just have to pay the electricity bills.

and the domain name, but that's quite cheap as well.
the most expensive thing is probably the time it takes to troubleshoot X)
