Reddit pays admins, I think we are mostly on the same page on the rest. Donations will never happen though. It's going to be at least $100 a year per person+ unless you end up cutting corners on stability and I don't see the user base accepting that really.
Nah, it's more like a few hundred/month/instance, so if an instance has 5k users, it's $1-2/user/month. So about a quarter of what you suggested.
But again, it's unlikely to actually happen. Voluntary donations tend to suffer from the Bystander Effect.
