How does it threaten the future of the Fedi? That seems to be a stretch. I believe a bigger threat is hamstrung admins that are only expected to survive on donations. People want to tell “small instances” but that’s not the solution & we can’t make the medium to large instances kick people off and go small. Just look at this year alone and how many instances are offline. That to me is a danger to the future of the Fediverse, culturally being opposed to admin’s financially supporting themselves is also a huge threat.
Mastodon.social runs fine and between individuals and companies it gets plenty of donations
