How Lemmy servers are paid. If the person who opens the server no longer wants to pay this fee, the server has to shut down. How is this issue resolved? (lemmy.world)

Hi. I'm new to Lemmy. Here's what I'm wondering. How Lemmy servers are paid. If the person who opens the server no longer wants to pay this fee, the server has to shut down. How is this issue resolved?

(fuck Cloudflare, all my homies hate Cloudflare)

I might be out of the loop, why?

Mostly centralization and monopoly concerns, considering that 80% of websites use Cloudflare. The data security isn't great (Cloudflare can obviously access all traffic unencrypted) but the tunnels are free. I won't yell at people for using Cloudflare, especially for the DDOS protection which is difficult for a smaller company to provide, but it's always treated like everyone has to use it or else their website will explode, which gets annoying.
