On a related note, if the bill already has a “gratuity” entry on it, am I still expected to tip on top of that?

How heavy is it to run? I am waiting for GoToSocial to mature slightly before jumping on to host my own instance, but the only reason I’m choosing it really is because of its lightweight-ness.

I’m guessing (hoping) the difference at peak will be larger. All we can do now is wait and see, unfortunately.
