A lot of Mastodon instance admins are either getting their first hosting bill or getting a very increased bill from extreme growth and usage. Some may be experiencing bill shock.
Please make sure your paying/supporting them!
Twitter was free because you were the product. Mastodon doesn't work this way.
Many instances list a patreon or donation links on their about page.
@princelysum @xssfox Had to look it up.
Here's a post from your instance's admin: https://medium.com/@mrshlee/aus-social-welcome-to-thundertoot-59d881ad573 Shlee says there may be a donation drive at some point?
If you're really eager, there's a patreon linked off of the admin bio. at https://aus.social/@aussocialadmin
My instance had a link off of the about page.
I am, alas, coming across instances which may be in some sort of failure mode as a consequence of Birdplace-sourced expansive and overload, though I can't rule out problems here.
