If you're on the mstdn.social instance you may have seen that there are some issues today with media on the site.
Stux has been on it since waking up, and he's the guy that's running all of this for us.
If you don't already, can I implore you to support him by using https://www.patreon.com/mstdn and chipping in.
Running this stuff takes a lot of time, resources, and money. There are no adverts here, and no investor companies - so he's paying it all. Let's cover his bills and then some more.
There are 1,124 people paying on Patreon.
There are 195,724 users on his server (https://fedidb.org/network/instance/mstdn.social)
Less than 0.6% of people pay. Meaning that 99.4% of people are using the service for free, and *costing money*.
Please chip in if you can, and support the community to which you belong.
@mattwilcox While I agree with your larger point, note that it is possible to make one-off contributions too, which I've done a couple of times.
(Especially inside the Netherlands this is faster, more direct and without transaction costs.)
So your 99.4% figure is inflated a bit.
@mattwilcox just paid annually for $6/mo.
Thanks, @stux !
