@marcellinusme @ApostateEnglishman Sure—my standpoint is that unless a server explicitly states it operates under the aegis of a non-profit, assume it is either for-profit or possibly for-profit. And the reality is, few Fediverse servers are under the aegis of a non-profit. Certainly, your server is—mastodon.social is not the typical Fediverse server. There are prominent servers, though, run by for-profit companies.But beyond servers, let’s consider hosts. Many of them are for-profit. Digital Ocean and Cloudron are certainly profiting from the many servers that depend on them.
