Why do you want to host it at all? I mean there are already a ton of fediverse servers out there you can tell Indian people to use one of those. also hosting is expensive unless you have a very good reason to do so

We aren’t hosting it all, as of right now. We’ll be picking a few services and scale as required. As for why we’re doing it at all is because we have seen for there to be a very few such initiatives in our region and aim to promote the conversation about foss and privacy through our efforts in providing alternative services.
The whole point of fediverse is to decentralise and federate it, so it doesn’t make sense to just keep using existing servers!
We plan to use personal hardware and aim to minimise costs wherever possible!
