I'm not seeing any ads, and these servers certainly have a cost.... So is this place entirely donation based, or what?

It costs me exactly $4 a month to operate my server. If it grows to the point where I have to ask for donations, I will, but for now I operate it at my own expense because I can afford it.

Out of curiosity, what are you doing for hosting? I'm interested in hosting an instance, but I'm not sure what kind of hardware to throw at it.

I’m using a Hetzner cloud box running Ubuntu
