@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Well thatβs a sad thought, that half didnβt find a home here. But like you said, thatβs signature behavior of a hype. The financial distress signals from other server owners are posted more frequently these days. Perhaps this is natural evolution of the fedi, separating the wheat from the chaff as we say in Dutch. It could also signal that we are about to get more mature as a whole. But when the amount of servers dwindles, some user may start looking for stable and solid servers like yours.
I would not be surprised that in coming years, due to economic and financial hardship, funding with get increasingly constrained. Perhaps keep this in mind for future (resource) planning.
Also think Iβm totally underestimating the costs of running such a server, or the time and effort of maintaining it on a weekly/monthly basis.
Given that like most here, Iβm a social and caring kind of person, Iβm asking how we/I can help and be part of the endeavor. Lighten the load as they say. Regarding money, Iβll start pushing a higher amount and on a monthly basis, hope that helps. But on itself, itβs probably going to be a drop in the ocean.
