Wikipedia get donation from rich people and big corporations. I don't think the fediverse that level of donation
To give you an idea, Beehaw’s annual costs are around $12,000: https://opencollective.com/beehaw. AFAIK they have been able to sustain that with donations. Beehaw has around 12,000 users, 4200 of those active per month: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
