Did they share any receipts or official documents to back up their claims?

They have a really good racket going on and want to make sure people keep giving them way more money than is necessary. It's simply not true that Infosec.Exchange requires $5000/month to operate unless they're doing something very wrong or just straight up lying.

Money brings out the worst in people. Don't let the useful idiots bring you down because there are more of them.

He is right though, 5000 USD per month for an instance with 12k monthly active users is completely unrealistic, or it is run very inefficiently. mastodon.world is a similar size and costs much less than 2300 Euro per month (which includes numerous other instances like lemmy.world etc).

Like I said, money brings out the worst in people.

You're free to provide evidence to prove me wrong, or you can keep trying to distract and prove me right.

Yes, internet rando. I totally believe your solid calculations based on .. vibe?

We failed the instance operators if they need to lie about money. What we need to insure is that those people can both run the instance and live a live worth of envy from the money provided by the supporters. Meaning any money above the costs is good money. Any money below the margin of live worthy of envy is not enough money. The line is not at being able to pay for hosting. The line is at live worthy of envy.
