It is number of people necessary for instance to be functional as intended. I am trying to run an instance where only people verified using legal Documents should be able to post, comment, vote. That is to increase transparency and keep spammers away. I Intend it to be a political website I will read about GoToSocial and Pleroma

Thanks!!

I am thinking of a VPS so that i can have greater control over instance functionality

suppose I kidnap 1000 people and force them to use mastodon without images, how much will it cost then? jk
