I want to start the conversation.  

"How can we help #Mastodon servers maintain independence and pay the bills?"

This is a great service. But we will need to pull together and help maintain it. This stuff isn't free. We are many. It's only a matter of time until we overcrowd the place and we also don't want ads.

Please post your answers below. Boosts are appreciated to get the conversation going.🔁

@thetitanborn The confusion for me is to whom should I contribute. Of course, my instance, but where can we chip in for the software developers and the non-instance hardware?
