  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 this is the essential question.

Servers cost money to run. People using their productive time to manage them also ought to be paid.

I guess donations is the first step, but if donations are insufficient then other options have to be considered.

I am not a tech person but would a paywalled instance even be possible?

I'm not saying that would be a good thing - just asking.

@brightlightart @thetitanborn There are paywalled instances. cloudisland.nz has such an arrangement. I'm sure there are others around.
