This is a super fair question! I don't think it's true that "All options are bad." But it's an equally fair question for Mastodon. How are we gonna pay for Mastodon stuff?
The core Mastodon team is underfunded. People working on Trust & Safety features are underfunded. Moderators are underfunded. Admining an instance is too expensive. Etc.
Some money comes with strings, but some strings are really chains.
We need other ways to pay for stuff.
