I currently like audits. It would be cool if there was a way to have a snapshot be taken by an entity with ethics of the power consumption over time and Internet consumption over time. If I saw that and I saw there were x users, then I would be highly motivated to “do my part” for the hard overhead costs (hard costs/x users).
Regarding other admin services like reasonable wage for adminning a instance. I don’t think there is a way for this to be more than a “who can be the best beggar” contest. I don’t know how it will not turn into enshittification if there is an expectation of profiting off users by any standard, so I am still thinking/figuring out that.
A standard I use is music consumption (5$ / mo) seems like the upper limit on what I would pay.
