I wish there was an alternative to leaving Reddit

    Perhaps a good start would be a page that gives statistics about the time and money required to run an instance.

    Yeah, that’s not not a bad idea.

    I’m ok with some non-intrusive ads, also. I’d also be ok with chipping in $5 a month, or so, if it’s something I end up using a lot.

      From a personal perspective, I would like to see a model where basic access is free. A 5$ a month fee is fine for you and me, but I think there are a lot of people who may not have that in their budget or who don’t want the paper trail of payments (e.g. if they live in a country that is restrictive of free speech). I am really hoping that voluntary donations are sufficient, but I guess we will see.
