Eugen RochkoThe past few days have extracted a heavy toll from me. While it's nice to see your work finally taken seriously in the mainstream, the 12-14 hour workdays I've had to pull to handle everything is anything but...
I rarely talk about how tough this job can be, since I feel responsibility to only associate positive things with the project. But it is a lot of responsibilities, and a lot of stress, for what can sometimes feel like inadequate pay.
I do software development, devops, accounting, customer support, project management, product design, public relations, and moderation for 36K per year...
Alan Langford@Gargron Consider a donation / pay what you can subscription model. opencollective.com has a pretty decent system for this and I'd happily send a few bucks your way to make things more worthwhile.
@Gargron Found https://opencollective.com/mastodon and donated what I would have paid app.net or Twitter to get rid of ads, promoted tweets, topics, people, etc., etc.
Hope this helps make it less stressful!
