Mastodon doesn’t support ads, but since it’s FOSS, you could add it yourself.
However, if people find value in your instance, they will donate. For example, see Fosstodon (which even has an excess amount of funds):

Looks like https://crazymax.dev/diun/notif/script/ would be useful for that.
Personally, since I’m a big fan of RSS, I’d set up email in Diun and send it to an email generated by https://kill-the-newsletter.com/

Some options I know of are Liberapay [0], OpenCollective [1], and GitHub Sponsors [2]. Best way would probably be to view each FOSS project’s page and see which they accept. A little tedious but you can set a recurring donation and forget about it. There’s also sometimes an option to discover projects you can donate to like on OpenCollective.

bitwarden_rs has been renamed to vaultwarden

For me, it only broke websites when I had the extra options enabled in settings (enabled by default). I’d recommend turning them all off and trying to use it again

Some off the top of my head are Alacritty (terminal emulator), exa (ls alternative), bat (cat alternative), and dog (dig alternative). Discord is rewriting a lot of their services from Go to Rust [0]. I personally built a CLI text editor in Rust [1] (very early development).

> I'm not doing anything wrong so I don't care
I’m not going to try too hard to convince you of digital privacy, but would you really be fine with me just browsing through your browsing and search history, INCLUDING whatever you do in incognito? I’m sure you’ve made at least one anonymous account before. Why’s that? And what’s right today may not be so right in the future. Are you ok with everybody from your boss to your children knowing everything you’ve ever posted? Shouldn’t we have a right to be forgotten?
> what can we do we live in a society full of internet connected stuff we're going to be monitored no matter what anyways
We live in a democracy, well I assume you do too. Just because it’s the way how things are today doesn’t mean it can’t be changed in the future.
> I don't have anything against them or any other huge IT company if they're doing stuff good for us let it be
I’m not saying they’re not doing great things for the world, but it all comes at a price.

I hate when websites do this. I don’t use anything Google unless I’m forced to (work email, Google Drive for my school, etc.). And unless I absolutely need to use your site, I will avoid it like the plague.
It’s not just limited to Google; it’s for any site providing only third-party OAuth login. I can never remember which one I signed in with, and if that service ever shuts down, it’ll be a pain to figure which of the hundreds of services I’ve signed up for using that OAuth login. It’s much easier to change an email.
And yes, I do use a paid alternative to Gmail (ProtonMail)
