The quickest win would to move off of Heroku. Either rent your own server that you can control (to a reasonable degree), or find an alternative that doesn't suffer that issue.
Redis would work but I'd be afraid of race conditions. There probably wouldn't be any, but it's something to be aware of.
If you wanted to test the waters with at least the relative public, I'd consider doing step 1 of renting a server, but then hiding it behind a Tor hidden service. Inconvenient to connect to? Yeah. (Probably) safe from the Hasbro demons? Also yeah.
Adjusting for inflation, $2.98 in 1977 is equivalent to $15 nowadays, which means that we've knocked this out of the park. On Ebay you can get a cheapo Android phone for under that amount with more storage than detailed on the article. And hey, gfortran is free!

Finally, something that outright says that its intent is to be a discord alternative. So many platforms try to sell themselves on some other feature, rather than just being open source and self-hostable. So many things, like Matrix, come close, but lack key components to really competing, such as voice channels rather than calls.
