#Mastodon, despite having more than 11 million users, is largely based on enthusiasm and unpaid work.
That's not sustainable, especially not, when the #Fediverse keeps growing and more people come here, that don't want to idealistically build the future of #SocialMedia, but just microblog, share pictures or connect.
Someone has to pay for server costs and stuff like that, but the work to moderate the content shouldn't need to be done for free either. So we need a financing model.
