    Are yall not sponsoring this project on patreon or otherwise?

    I pitch in something like 1-2 bucks to desalines and a few bucks to .world every month.

      You are the exception, and you will find out that even the most prolific participants here claiming that $5 per year is enough to cover the hardware costs, so he doesn’t see any reason to give more than that.

            Shit aint free.

            I mean when we were over at (the bad place), people were literally donating monthly to pay for server costs. (the bad place) in the early days was basically one giant instance.

            except it didnt have a working video player. for-fucking-ever.

            so I donate a bit to my mortal enemy @desalines and a bit to lemmy.world to keep the project going. Maybe 5 bucks a month between the two?
