Okay #Folklore tribe, I have decided I am going to have a crack at creating a #mastodon instance. It will be small at first, but if I can rouse the community maybe we can get it al going.

What do you think: thefolklore.cafe ?

@Wihtlore I like it!
@FairytalesFood thank you.
@Wihtlore Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. It seems a big task!
@FairytalesFood what will be the real challenge initially is raising donations to pay for it, it ain’t cheap. :)
@Wihtlore I imagine not and the problem will be consistency of payments too. Maybe you need the equivalent of an online cake sale to raise enough to keep it going whilst people acclimatise to the fact that in order to have a wonderful community there needs to be a way to pay for that privilege.
@FairytalesFood a virtual cake sale? Hehe.
I was thinking of putting up a patreon to raise money at some stage, but I wasn’t sure what I could to as bonuses for people. I need to think it through a little.
I’ve never charged anyone for my work or what I do, it feels alien and wrong to me. But then again there is only so much I can afford to do for free when it comes to running a #Mastodon instance
@Wihtlore The reward could be that everyone has a stable, well moderated instance. 😂Also perhaps consider it not charging for your work but taking contributions towards a community.
@FairytalesFood that is what I am thinking. We will see though of course :)
