I’m fairly new and don’t 100% understand it yet, but instances are run on servers that require money. Are we heading towards seeing ads or subscriptions to raise funds instead of relying on donations to cover overhead?

Especially with the influx of new users. Hardware upgrades are needed.

    You actually can’t just move to North Korea lol.

    If there was an English-speaking Socialist country with a liberal immigration policy, I honestly think we’d see a lot of Americans and Brits moving to it.

      You actually can. You can even work for a Western company there, like DHL. The only reason you don’t is because you won’t last long without capitalism and its benefits.

      Sure thing buddy, “If, if, if”. It’s almost charming how naïve your idea is. An English-speaking socialist utopia with open doors? Let’s get real. Maybe the lack of such a place screams less about market demand and more about the failures of socialism. Have a look at history before making such wishful statements. The luxury of musing such fantasies? Courtesy of capitalism.
