Nice, I just hope that you are contributing with more than $1-2 per year. ;)
Also, if you understand the importance of support it the instances, why don’t you wish that everyone did the same?

More than my own share for sure, regardless of the result of the other argument.
I do. But a paywall adds a considerable barrier to entry.

Indeed. We are already struggling to get users and content, adding a paywall would probably kill the platform

The idea is to get rid of “instances with open registrations”. It doesn’t mean that paywalled instances are the only way to achieve that.
