I had a look around, but couldn't figure out who's paying for kbin.social / will pay for it in future. I also didn't see any ads, so... I feel I'm missing some

  It’s selfhostable, this instance is paid for by the devs who quickly set up a "buy me a coffee" profile just today, but essentially people are joining faster than plans were made ;)

    This is how it was on the 90s internet. Sites got hugged to death on the regular. It's how we ended up with the platforms, really, cause they had the capital to handle these surges without losing the company's house. Edit: and there was no Patreon or any popular platform to quickly save the site.

      That’s where federation is supposed to come in. The current rush is just a bit much for organic growth ;)
