Nah, big instances don’t get full, they get just get bigger.

I don’t want to discourage anyone from self hosting. It’s absolutely within anyone’s reach and could be a very rewarding pursuit. I would 100% encourage anyone to learn about self hosting in general. I also do not mean to imply that you or anyone else doesn’t have what it takes.

That said, I’ve found my own self hosting efforts to be a little bit like a new puppy. It’s a big commitment and once the shine wears off it might be more of a responsibility than you bargained for. In my experience things do go wrong unexpectedly. When others are depending on you, you can find yourself in a situation where you have to put your life on hold for several hours trying to figure out what’s gone wrong.

So in summary, it would be a cool thing to do but too much of a commitment for me.
