It's actually pretty amazing that a open source product developed by a tiny non-profit, running on a network of servers self-funded by volunteer administrator and moderators has managed to absorb some portion of one of the world's largest for-profit social networks.

It's a miracle the whole thing didn't collapse or catch fire.

Great job everyone.

@mike
Is this the admins and mods full-time job (as it were)? Or do some/many have full time employment also?
@mike @Sallyterra I can only speak for myself, but being the admin here at Motley is a hobby for me. I spend my own time and money to keep my server running, while also working a day job (and having a bazillion other hobbies).
@Sallyterra I'm not aware of any full time mods or admins anywhere on the fediverse.
