Sure, users are in control, if they choose to choose instance that opens their books, then should be able to do so. This causes a positive loop of openness, which is never a bad thing.
If some instance clearly states that they will use money on self interest, I might donate to them out of respect.
Am I the only one who think they can use the money as they please? Just do crack and prostitutes, who cares. Instances are not controlling anything, why it matters? Just keep source code open and if you are too high on drugs someone else can take over and people can jump to another instance. Just complete the tools to perform instance to instance migration.
FOSS is not normal corporate world, were you have to be scared of the people running the show.
Edit: just to make sure that single instance doesnt get too much power. I.e. meta joining can be problem. If no single entity has enough power to control the whole show, then users are in power.

Previously it was Sun Java, and everyone used that, which was clear.
Now compability between JDK's is like "sure, SHOULD work, but no quarantee"
Few exceptions are valet parking and Uber, both of those also rely on tips a lot

And you can have multiple accounts. One on non-nsfw side, and one on nsfw side. Then add both accounts to your favorite client. This way you have clean "safe" account and dirty perv account.
