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

      Servers are expensive, either someone pays, or the instance closes.
      As of now very few people are on the fediverse, so it’s cheap.
      But if we expect hundreds of millions of people to use it… expenses will skyrocket.

        The logical answer would be for more people to host their own instances in a similar ratio to present.
