But I have had many experiences with various voluntary organisations over the years. Hacker spaces, maker spaces, activist groups and online groups.
Maintaining a group is hard work and it requires someone to care about the end goal. And if that one fire brand gives up someone has to take their place.
So in the long run most of my experiences with such organisations have ended on a sad note. And especially when it comes to the Fediverse I'd say 99.99% of my users just want to try it out and see if it ever goes anywhere.
At the moment it's all coming from my pocket because I love the work and I love the idea. And at the moment it's not that much, just maybe 80 euros a month.
