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 Bohacek I guess it depends on how you calculate it. There's a VPS involved, but it acts as a glorified router. The actual server runs on a laptop in the closet of my office which effectively costs me nothing to run (save for the internet access, I suppose). Also, the VPS runs other services as well, so there's that.
