MODERATORS
Start your own for you. Open registration while keeping an eye on resources. When you hit hardware limits, close registration. Should be easy enough to manage moderation, and resources wouldn't cost much more than the initial costs of running it just for yourself.
The number of users is not really what drives costs honestly. Or at least, it's not like a linear relationship. I think actually having many popular communities might be a bigger issue.
Of course it is. More queries = more resources.
Yes, but honestly unless you're very big, federation queries are the bulk of the processing and stuff from your own instance doesn't matter that much. I mean think about it, do you think the 100 active users on your own instance is what costs or the 10000 users posting all over the fediverse is what matters? Obviously the latter. So again, local user count is not that impactful.
