Just to keep the instance up and running he needs to spend up to $5000 a month, pretty much out of his pocket.

Wtf!?

Seems to be some misunderstanding somewhere - Jerry states elsewhere that the costs are covered by donations.

The Mastodon instance I'm on has around 200 people (not all of them active), and received around €800 in donations last year,. Total costs were less than €300.

I think the problem of scaling kicks in when we go after demographics that are less charitable on average.
