one day I hope to count our users among our investors, but getting to breakeven is a priority for us

Yeah well, I'm already an investor on the fediverse, by donating to my instance admins, and the instances I support already break even. It pays back handsome returns on my investment not by extracting value, but by providing a community that respects its users instead of monetizing them. That is the only investment I'm interested in.

I mean, it sure makes sense. If they're getting the server costs and effort to maintain and moderate, happy to drop a few dollaridoos now and again. Less ads to block as well, which is always nice.
