@JudeNunga That’s right. You sell your labour.
And people who write software, administrate instances, and provide content are providing labour that others are willing to pay for. So why not give them the means to make a living?
As you already noted, the Fediverse can be different *if* we prove and build a different, more sustainable model. Which could include — but isn’t limited to — crowdfunding, non-profits, and co-ops.

If people are willing to pay for their work, I don't have an issue with that.
However if people don't want to pay for something they see no need for, I have no issue with that either.
The Fediverse already has crowdfunding, non profits and co ops, it already exists, are you suggesting building another one? Why?
Improvements can be made, but if people are happy with what already exists, and don't see a need for more, than they aren't going to be interested in paying for more.
