I’m fairly new and don’t 100% understand it yet, but instances are run on servers that require money. Are we heading towards seeing ads or subscriptions to raise funds instead of relying on donations to cover overhead?

Especially with the influx of new users. Hardware upgrades are needed.

    What is this email you speak of? Is it popular? Surely it can’t be that popular if it’s a decentralized open protocol and standard.

      I saw someone mention it in a TikTok, so I think it is starting to gather in popularity. Probably not as much as Facebook but.
