@guizzy I understand and agree.

I also think that if you have more than 10-20 active users, you should probably ask members of the community to contribute if they can ... financially, moderation-wise, admin tasks, customizing the design and function of the site, and so on. We do our users no favor by reinforcing that sites and servers are provided without any cost. That's what the #corpocentric networks do, but then they have ads and data-collection to extract resources anyway.

If we think that peer-to-peer is the eventual goal, then everyone will be responsible for their own bandwidth, backups, and administration (updates, settings). That cannot happen if we keep teaching people that "I can play for free because someone else will do the work without any cost".

Not everyone can or will contribute, of course, but if a few people help in those areas, it can be the difference between keeping the instance going or shutting it down.
