If your instance started showing ads, would you just leave to another instance? Do you see any way to fund the operation of an instance other than donations?

I’m already considering self hosting my own instance, so I’m probably not your target demographic, but I would leave pretty quickly from an advertising instance. If an instance wanted alternative funding they could offer plans with value add of some other type if they wanted to subsidize server costs
