My fellow Fedizens, and especially users of mstdn.social, my home here.

Please don't be a barnacle.

Individual barnacles are small, but on a large ship, barnacles can accumulate to the point where fuel consumption is increased by 40%. Ouch. Expensive.

@stux (or your server's admin) pays the bills for mstdn.social out of their own pocket. That's not fair.

Please give a small amount every month to your home. 🙏

Don't be a barnacle. Mahalo!

@WolfIsMe @stux Stux puts his time, energy, and money into mstdn.social, the least we can do is contribute when we can. I have a monthly reminder setup, heck with the amount of data I am using up it’s only fair. If the Fediverse is supposed to be the better way, we need to help it and that means helping with the bills.

@NorCal_Lynne

QOTO infrastructure (not just mastodon but all our additional servers) cost us about 1000$.. I dont know Stux's cost, probably less, but its still significant I'm sure.

@WolfIsMe @stux

@freemo @NorCal_Lynne @WolfIsMe well i wish!

I did change the plans a few days ago so i hope next month will be cheaper but i pay between 1300-1500 per month these days for all services
