I'm not on your instance and I don't know the link but I 100% agree to your sentiment. I think if we want Lemmy to grow and instances to flourish, we have to also federate the financial burden of hosting it. The admins already spend a lot of their free time on maintenance and content moderation, so those who can afford it should at least throw in some small donations. :)

Yeah, just like multiple small instances are more resilient than one large instance, I think funding from multiple small donors would be more resilient than one large donor.

Definitely less prone to hostile takeover.

This too, overall better having more people invested with a sense of ownership
