Where is the line between "trying to make a profit" and "trying to be self-funding"?
Trying to be funded off of donations is really hard and rarely works. Most of the time you need other funding models.
If someone runs a biz where they run mastadon instances and the business breaks even (or just a little more) is that making a profit?
How does an organization behind an instance make money to cover expenses? This has to be looked at.
