> Much of the Fediverse may need only that - a little guilt-tripping with posts from your server admins
I've yet to see a server shut down for lack of donations to cover upstream costs. Usually it's a lack of sysadmin or mod volunteers. More money may help with this but doesn't always. Then there's all the software dev and standards work, which is covered by a combo of voluntarism and funding grants. Again, more money may help with this but doesn't always.
