If your instance started showing ads, would you just leave to another instance? Do you see any way to fund the operation of an instance other than donations?

I’m hoping for an instance with a fully transparent management and overhead structure: show us what it costs to run, divide that by monthly users who want to have a say in the future of the server, charge a membership fee that reflects those costs and a little cushion for the future. Having a token fee per account also discourages bots.
