isn't the idea behind a decentralised, federated social media that whoever hosts that instance pays for the server?

Yea, someone is still paying at the end of the day

And once it gets big enough they’ll have to rely on donations

And once they get even bigger they will have the advertisers knocking on their door with bags of cash

And once they get even bigger the feds and copyright holders will be knocking on their door for all the unmoderated content that’s on the platform
