I've been thinking a lot about the eventual situation of allowing registrations with approval and how I could even begin to fund something like that.
Servers and data get expensive, so I was thinking about ways to entice users to support the instance.
Probably perks like:
Special tag: "Zone Supporter" that would be an exclusive, undecided color.
Extra emotes, suggested by @elleybirdy
10 gb of Drive space (or more, I don't know how much other instances allow for this, very flexible right now)
Movie night participation in The Social Zone discord hosted by BeAware, possibly once a week. That's 4 movies a month. (Movies would be voted on by the community ahead of time)
I know right now there's only 5 of us here, but I'd like to get ideas for this or opinions on my own ideas from those outside The Social Zone so maybe once I decide to allow registrations, some of you will be willing to support the instance financially so I can keep this thing

I am on disability and only make a fixed amount every month so it would be quite difficult to do it alone.
However, I have had a bit of interest since starting it and would be willing to do it eventually if I can be sure it would be financed between my own money and a bit of help.
Thanks ahead of time to anyone who replies.
