@JudeNunga I’m suggesting that people consider crowdfunding, non-profits, and co-ops.

And again, not everyone is considering them as alternatives to Big Tech.

I have no argument with that at all.

IMO "big tech" will fail to make any inroads on the Fediverse, but this of course is just my opinion. Trust has been destroyed, and it is extremely hard to rebuild that.

Would you turn down a donation from Microsoft?

In a purely hypothetical case, it would make sense for them to beef up a particular instance so that it drives users away from Meta/Twitter, which should in theory drive more instance makers to consider hosting via Azure.

Also I wouldnt put it past them to offer deep discounts on hosting instances for the same purpose.
