My one suggestion for the @Mastodon team is to partner with hosting companies, & allow people to setup an instance on their own domain.

People could purchase the plans they prefer, & Mastodon could get a commission for referring people.

I think all official #Fediverse apps should do this!

We need an instance for public institutions, government actors, non-profit companies even public figures of interest.

I can setup the host, and I am sure we can charge a tiny amount per user to fund the hosting, but I am afraid of the moderation overhead, I would need help with that.
