As long there are no invasive data collection and such, I really wouldn’t mind having some ads if that means making instances having more resources to grow and sustain them selves.

    Most of the people on he major communities like reddit were all on smaller communities long before. The internet has a long tradition of indie providers helping with the commons. Keeping things running can be done in a number of ways and many people are willing to foot the bill for an instance.

    The issue you bring is more a problem when everyone insists that we all must be on a handfull of instances.

    The protocol does not need this and the call feels like mainly a cope for UX issues.
