For those here in the gloriousness that is infosec.exchange, consider donating to help run the instance - it's seen a MASSIVE uptick in usage with some huge names moving across with their followers. Anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated!

And yes, before you ask, I have donated. I wouldn't ask people to do something I'm not willing to do 💜

@girlgerms I can only imagine the server load considerations due to scripting alone. Good on you for keeping the lights on. 🕯️

I hold that if anyone reading this is developing any new projects featuring the words “yet another” and “mastodon” (and uploading it to GitHub where people can see it), some jingle in the jar would be neighborly. 👍

@girlgerms Thanks for the link - I'd been thinking I should find out how to support @jerry in keeping this instance up.

@girlgerms done, thanks for the link! As @teambuilder said, it's refreshing to use a website where I'm not the product. And if only a single digit % of users pledged a measly 2 euros per month (less than the cost of 2 espresso coffees at a bar in Italy), the maintainer could probably even make a living out of it or hire staff if needed.

@girlgerms paid for a year and boosted. Good on @jerry. I'm already finding it better than birdsite

@girlgerms I’ve got my own instance and have room for 50 people at dopamine.social if you know anyone that needs an entry point.
