Welcome!
Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.
And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🤟😁

I read this interesting article : https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/how-much-does-the-fediverse-cost/
That's a good idea. I believe we need to tackle on fediverse sustainability as wikipedia do. We can discuss on various way to support it. Not everyone has the budget to support every services and cost : phone bill, rent, internet bill...
And there are 3 things to support :
So i believe in a mix of users and public fund along a collective NGO organisation as https://chatons.org/ would guarantee long term service. Or we all switch to p2p as scuttlebutt.
Collective organisation will allow more cooperation between sysadmin, users and help us to defend our network, maybe shared cost. For example domain name as joinmastodon, joinpiefed...we could regroup them.
Instances should simply add ads.
This would make me leave the fediverse because then survailance capitalism takes it over. We have that already with reddit, Instagram and threads, if someone likes ads so much they can go there.
That seems extreme. There will always be another instance out there without ads, and ads can always be blocked, and not all ads employ tracking and privacy invasive measures.
