If we do hope for the fediverse to supplant centralized social networks, while being able to support the storage/bandwidth requirements that come with a userbase that huge, advertising is inevitable as one of the sources to financially sustain instances.
Not to be brash, but thinking a future fediverse the size of FB/Twitter/etc can operate solely on donation-supported instances is plain delusional.

bird.makeup is a twitter bridge that makes Mastodon much more appealing for those wanting all their follows in one place. So it's super lame that many of the largest instances chose to outright block it, rather than setting it to limited.
The entire purpose of "limited" is that only users who explicitly follow someone on the limited instance, will see that persons posts. So what's the problem?
cc-ing admins of the blocking instances:

Here are a few things that come to mind that may help!
Getting sustainable/consistent income:
1. Have a dialogue that pops up once after installation, that allows users to opt-in to zap-splits, so that every time someone zaps a post, Damus gets a %
2. A "Damus+"/"Damus Pro" etc paid subscription tier with extra features
3. Turn amazon/walmart/etc links in posts into referral links, and have that be opt-in of course.
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s As for lowering expenses, it would be totally reasonable to turn the Damus relay into a nostr:npub1pages5yhmncmmfxuza9f9fx68fju0nxnewtlffzrapsufax5mv0sznuw9d style contact-list relay meant only to bootstrap gossip discovery of other users relays. There can be a second full fledged Damus relay that subscribers to Damus+ get access to. As it is, the Damus relay shoulders way too much of the load.

This is why the write-side should aim to mitigate this by tracking uptime with a tool like nostr.watch, and intelligently rotating a users write-relays when some go down.
The new Agora is now live! Still a work in progress, so expect bugs, but feel free to throw over some feedback/ideas! Enjoy :)
