J’ai quand même l’impression qu’ils auraient pu prévenir avant de prendre leur décision. Ça aurait encouragé les gens à suivre le compte, et aurait pu montrer la réactivité plus organique du Fedivers par rapport aux réseaux sociaux corporate
Comment on After a year of operation, Switzerland's government closes its Mastodon instance

How much funding does a single software instance serving 3500 users really require? I could probably run it off my desktop.

When you’re a government, you need a little more process to ensure things are done well (moderation, security, …). Even something simple like that could take valuable time from quite a few people.
