I’m pretty new to the fediverse, and I find the idea amazing. But one thing concerns me though. How will server owners be able to afford to run servers with massive amounts of data coming through them? Theoretically speaking, if a Reddit migration were to happen how would server upkeep costs look like?
This sort of openness and transparency around finances and the need for donations should become the norm (however awesome it is to see from ruud).
IMO, with more transparency, the more normal it will seem to donate and the less grating it will be to ask for donations.
