Thanks again to everyone who's contributed to the costs of running this community! You're helping keep this space in the #fediverse independent and sustainable.
If you can afford to help support it, especially as hundreds of new people join, you can donate (and see our finances) here: https://opencollective.com/writingexchange
Any amount helps, and a recurring monthly or yearly donation is very appreciated!
@matt definitely just brought my Bird verification money here
@matt
I have just started
a recurring donation
of five bucks per month.
@HaikuHare thank you for the support and the poetry!
@matt Are you open to new users? (I know a lot of smaller instances are closed right now)
@matt Glad to help! I've set up a monthly donation, and hopefully it'll keep the lights on...
@markhood Thank you!
@matt happy to do it. I wouldn’t give the bird site my money, but this place is definitely worth it! Thanks again.
Kia ora @matt, I remember you coming into fediverse development with some ambitious plans, including making the work a fulltime job. How is this working out for you? Not asking you to publish your annual income or anything, just wondering if you've achieved all the technical goals you had at the beginning, and whether you're making a livable income from fedi development/ hosting.
