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?
