If the fediverse is going to be a decentralized, non-commercial network, and it works properly, I’m willing to contribute some share, as long as there’s transparency about the costs and the budget. Do we have access about this information for any instance in general, or for @world in particular?
Edit: Well I found it for @world: Enter https://opencollective.com/mastodonworld , then click on Budget.
I am in the process of deleting 10 years of comments (thanks, Power Delete Suite!). I’m keeping the account because I need to check in on breaking news and the site is still useful for that. Until they get rid of old.reddit—at which point I’m deleting the account permanently.
And if I’m completely honest, it kind of hurts. My primate brain really enjoyed the dopamine hits when I got complimented, upvoted, and gilded.
I’m getting used to the smaller, more community-focused scope of the Fediverse.
lol, my old ass feel right at home really cause this is like what old internet(even WWW internet) worked but with decades of protocol and FOSS and infrastructure as new back end. I remember I had to wake up and go to server room to reboot our game servers run for the entire campus( it was a mixed battle.net for starcraft/diablo + Quake server), and now a days you can just schedule regular restart or a process monitor daemon. You can even spin up more instances if your servers are too full and require a new one to off load.
It’s good to be in a smaller community, this is how it should be like.
