I just updated the https://hub.techhub.social page with the latest costs and donations.
We are good money wise, at current costs and if pledges holds we are in theory good for 2 years🤔.
That being said, we are still growing and costs will explode.
I am probably gonna be pro-active and deploy a new server anticipating the next big migration spike.
Thanks for all who donated and/or are donating.

@nicdex thanks to you for your quick reaction time. If money is not a problem, having an extra server than strictly needed will give you a lot more time to react to spikes. Thanks again! 💯💯💯

@nicdex if mastodon is to be realistic competition to twitter it would need massive feature upgrades and world class infra for response.

Isn't it?

OR

Is the plan to have a plain vanila platform offering basics - that would not attract influencers to migrate

@lettuce mastodon wants to be different than other platforms. Do we really want/need influencers here? There is no monetization and ads, plus aggressive advertising of self is prohibited.

[email protected]Nov 19, 2022

@nicdex @lettuce I think we all need to be open minded. Monetization is a loaded word. Aggressive is vague. Is it ok for YouTube to make money on videos posted here? Let’s not get to set in our thinking and just make this work.

@pkellner @nicdex thank you for all the efforts. I sincerely wish and believe there is a scope for platform like wikipedia in SM.

But Wikipedia had the first mover advantage.

Beyond a stage, user engagement comes only with quality content. Content requires thought leaders and influencers.

I am on Twitter to absorb the wisdom of the world. To feel the Wibe of the country/ culture.

For mere interaction FB and insta is good.

So, how to attract great content to mastodon?

@lettuce @nicdex I see that talent coming daily. The move has started.

@pkellner @nicdex 🙏👍👍

@pkellner @nicdex just discovered that there are other front end apps for Mostodon.

That is a radically different approach.

Excited.

Any Popular accounts given ng mastodon tips on Twitter..

It took me few hurdles to get to my first post on Mostodon. Many are going to give up on the way.
