There are plenty of sustainable Mastodon instances that are run by a cooperative of users. Social.coop has been running for ages and is very active. Members pay a pay-what-you-can fee to join the member-run coop. It works super well, and they always have a surplus they're looking to reinvest. I'm on a canadian coop instance that launched a few months ago (@jszym@cosocial.ca). If you're a cannuck, consider joining!
