The grants are for software development, not server maintenance.
The criteria is the percentage of active users compared to the whole network, the error messages you mentioned, and moderation issues caused by lower staff-to-user ratios.
The purpose of this network is to be spread out on many servers, so that no single server controls the network. The grants were given to Mastodon gGmbH on that basis.

@feditips "The grants are for software development, not server maintenance." says who?
"The purpose of this network is to be spread out on many servers, so that no single server controls the network" I understand that this is the goal of ActivityPub. As someone with expertise in distributed topologies (e.g. CORBA), I question the topology per se, noticing these errors and how they corrupt the DB consistency as an echo of projects I was involved in.
