Im gonna wait before I host a public instance. This is the first experience with an actual bigger user base for most instances.
I would suggest that people don't just willy nilly start an instance without long term planing for database growth and media storage.
Oh yeah, I'm still learning and planning when/if I do it.
OTOH, we shouldn't scare people off doing it either LOL
You are right. But giving users a bad experience is also kot good for future reputation. Users are fast with giving something they had a bad experience with, a negative stigma.
Especially right now when users and communities dont have the ability to migrate between instances. If an instance dies, it takes them all with it.
People should only create public instances if they're 100% sure that they're going to keep running it and paying for it.
