    People act like server costs are hella per person here? Realistically one person donating 10$ covers like 100 ppl that month? Or am I way off? Vps are cheap.

      It’s pretty low. I think my instance costs under $1k annually, though it’s not one of the mega instances, neither do I think it’s small. I think I recall about half of that or more being covered just by the recurring donations by a small group of people.

      That said, a labor of love is still labor and I’d love to see instances take in enough to give a little compensation for time and effort spent keeping the lights on.
