I’m not wrong here, am I?

Little FYI;

I am NOT earning ANYTHING from mstdn.social 😉 In fact it's the opposite, Every week I work about 40-50 hours for a company so I can earn money and pay for the servers, domain, media storage and email services and don't get me wrong. I'm VERY happy to do that ❤️ and I will NOT stop doing that for a long time!

We do get donations and that's a BIG help! But still I need to pay much from my own pocket so keep that in mind. We are not a company, we are not Twitter, we drive on #love! ❤️

Really sad that this had to be said.
You continue to do what you do, please.
It's really sweet of you to address everyone's concern too, even though some come across as mean.

@stux

I pay a few dllrs a month to my instance admin;
I think all users should be able to afford spending only one dllr/mo.

❤️ Please support your admins ❤️

Welcome to Tamil Toot Mastodon. We're one of the mastodon server in the 'Federated Universe'(கூட்டமைப்பு பிரபஞ்சம்). Mastodon is a decentralized(பரவலாக்கப்பட்ட) social network.

This posting from @stux perfectly outlines the dichotomy of Mastodon. The overwhelming majority of instances are privately operated and that presents some benefits and challenges.

@Jeff Thank you Jeff 🙂

@stux Curious what’s the per month cost of keeping this instance running?
Show threadstux⚡️Nov 16, 2019
@tariquesani Currently around €125-€150 ;-)

@stux Sounds about what I had estimated. Thanks.

@mewmew and this will keep going up as the users increase. We users should be willing to pitch in soon.

@stux

Show threadmewmew Nov 16, 2019
@tariquesani @stux yeah

hopefully you'll decentralize in the long run (start your own, smaller instances)
Show threadTarique Sani Nov 16, 2019
@mewmew that would be a type of pitching in too. I am very tempted to start a #mentalhealth focused instance but that seems self defeating. We need more general topic instances talking about it. @stux
Show threadmewmew Nov 16, 2019
@tariquesani @stux nah, that'd be good to have - more instances on any topic are a plus

If you want to easily set up an instance I recommend Pleroma (pleroma.social), it's much cheaper and easier to set up.

If you want help, just ask
Pleroma — a lightweight fediverse server

@tariquesani @mewmew @stux Why not both? Sometimes people might want to talk in a more isolated way but also have a public forum, no?
