Wikipedia managed to do it on donations only. Federated social media is similar in many ways and I think it's entirely possible that we may get development and hosting to be funded in a similar fashion.

The more this looks like Reddit the more likely I am to just switch back.

What are you referring to "looking like Reddit"? And why would you want their API lock-in, paid ads disguised as content, and obvious AI bot posts?
