Feature, not a bug.

Big Advertising can be stopped simply by denying their existence in the first place. It's time to get advertisers out of our digital lives.

Let's hope that Mastodon instances will be able to work on donations. Otherwise who knows what happens. Servers cost money.

Seems like crowd funding has been working pretty well so far, and I think that's really the right model to pursue. I pitch in a couple of bucks for the server I use, and it only takes a small percentage of the users to do that to make this viable.
