Hey, all. I need to find some examples of small (like, Raspberry-Pi-small) Fediverse instances that shut down because the traffic was too much for them. Do you know of any examples? Blog posts or other URLs with explanations would be helpful.
(Note that this is somewhat different from the thundering herd problem when someone shares a link on the Fediverse to a non-Fediverse site.)

@evan that seems unlikely to me. I would imagine most small instances like that would be personal/family instances like mine currently on a Raspberry Pi 4 which handles volume just fine. If they shut down I would assume it would have been for other reasons.

@evan, what are you working on? I have a niche example of when https://tooot.im went down during the X-odus in 2022. I believe that at the time it was a $single-digit VPS size, so not exactly Raspberry Pi small...

@stags I'm doing a proposal for research into reducing resource requirements for small servers. I'd like to have some examples, but it's hard because small servers usually die quietly.
