    The users are only keeping the instance alive if they’re donating to its costs.

      Not necessarily, good content and users who share and comment help servers indirectly. An empty or toxic instance will most likely not attract too many users who will donate.

        The local content doesn’t matter if it’s federating everywhere. I agree the toxic stuff should be handled. That’s only common sense.
