We've officially hit our plan limit again here on Writing.Exchange, so on Friday this week, we're going to adjust our settings to only retain remote content from within the last 7 years (after Dec. 2018).

For everyone who's been around for that long, this means you'll lose older *remote* content (not your own posts), such as bookmarks and favorites.

If you want to back those up and you are comfortable getting technical, this tool can help export them: https://github.com/kensanata/mastodon-archive?tab=readme-ov-file#installation

Our hosting costs here on #WritingExchange are going up by $50 again next month, after last increasing in March. If you're able to contribute to the costs of running our small instance, any amount is much appreciated (and thank you to all that already contribute)!

So if you have the means and would like to contribute, especially if you aren't already a @write_as customer, we'd really appreciate anything you can donate, whether recurring or one time.

Either way, thank you all for continuing to write here every day, and making this place what it is!

As always, this community is financially supported by my tiny company, @write_as, so we'll always be able to keep the lights on. But for now we'll have to fall back on that funding until we can make up for this shortfall.

Ultimately though, we always want to keep this community independently funded directly by the people who share and socialize here.

Our #WritingExchange community has been running for almost eight years! But as our little writing space has grown, so have our hosting costs.

Many members of the community have contributed to help keep this space sustainable -- if you have, thank you so much!

But after catching up on our accounting today, we're essentially back at $0 in our Writing Exchange fund, with only 45% of our annual hosting costs covered by current donors.
