it's the #1 reason why i've been hesitant about running an instance. I'VE DONE IT BEFORE. i ran my own identi.ca instance back in 2008. i made money as a blogger. i had my own community site.
and it bankrupted me.
and it almost broke me.
#1 thing i wished i had done differently? not incorporate but create a COOP. to actually include writers & users into the biz structure so the community persists in spite of me.
public goods need to be cooperative
