Hello everyone and welcome to Genomic Social for the new year of 2023.
We currently have ~3228 users
~2187 were active in the last month
~2691 since we started in November
The server currently costs me ~$250 AUD/month to run (with current size.
That is about 7c per user, or 11c per active user for the last month.
79 people have donated to the Librepay to help me cover costs. So far I have received $3354.28 AUD, with 3 months spent, at $750AUD leaving 10.4 Months of funding. That's great!
I would like to thank everyone who has donated. It has made it possible for me to run this server instance.
I have some moderators in various time zones that help me with reports.
We've had 15 reports so far, all of them resolved. So we are doing well in that regard.
I've done some basic modelling on costs/user as the number of users increases. Please see image.
Also note, that this does not include taxes, making the numbers a tad lower than they actually are.
@Psy_Fer_ How is site administration going at a personal level? Here is an article from a niche commercial site that is pulling the plug. Hope your experience has been better
We tried to run a social media site and it was awful https://on.ft.com/3R70lQA
