@hamkaas Oh yes, for sure 😉

Gotta pay all bills first each month and we save what we can miss, if any to set aside for rings and a wedding (but thats more distant, first the question :blobcatgiggle: )

May I ask are the bills in line with the previous ones, or/and can you see peaks that can be read as being due to outside/AI scrabbing?

Also hoping you get the bills covered. That's an important thing you're doing.

Maybe you should mention the instances you run. I suppose that people on them are more willing to donate, when they know.
in reply to stux⚡

Thanks for the reminder. You're a bunch less short now.

If you are going to ask for money every month, have you considered flipping the script?

Turn the server into a subscription-only system, but make it so that each paying subscriber gets to invite N people (where 3 <= N <= 10)?

Just bumped it up a tier to T3.

Thanks for all you do.

I'll share this github issue again: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i…

It needs more discussion and, preferably, support.

Boosted and I sent a bit extra. I'll see if I can up my Patreon as well.
in reply to stux⚡

I'd definitely consider gating behind a subscription or at least an initial donation. That's a lot of weight on yourself for such a huge instance.
in reply to stux⚡

Suggest you investigate other donation options (e.g. Visa/MC) for U.S. folks, and adding a 1 time donation option. Keep up the good work! 😊
in reply to stux⚡

Dunno what you're running this on; But anything that could be done to help in-kind not in-cash? (host for shipping static/cdn to get some traffic off etc?)
in reply to stux⚡

I have a (small) monthly setup that should arrive within the next few days via ko-fi
in reply to stux⚡

Done. Thanks for hosting and managing gram.social

Well, this one the easiest way to support the @buyfromeu movement. At least we would know our support is going to somewhere good and not another tax haven. #RejoinEU. Hope you also donate to #Mastodon as well.

The server bills are paid ❤️ thank you so incredible much for your support :cat_hug_triangle:

This takes away my biggest worry for this month :blobcatsnuggle: I'm gonna do my best to cut down costs but without it impacting any service!

Without your help i would not be able to affort to run all our services ❤️ thank you!

in reply to stux⚡

Congrats on raising so much money so quickly. A clear sign people appreciate what you do, stux⚡

👏

I am so glad you have a Patreon. My last instance had no way to support them and it showed with so much downtime.
in reply to stux⚡

I sent a little... as there are always bills for net month.
