Kenneth BaillieThe critcare.social server was great, and I still love the concept of community ownership of social media, but @Watergypsy and I both agree that our little server is not sustainable. We have never quite managed to generate critical mass here, and it's very quiet now. It takes a lot of @Watergypsy's time to maintain the server, has a carbon cost, and despite very generous donations from the community, we aren't covering the financial cost. Our view is that we should bring it to a graceful end.
I know a few of you agree, including @Watergypsy, @lennie, and @hauschildt. If anyone wants to take this on we would of course be delighted, but my view is that we've tested this model and we have a clear answer.
Tom Williams@Watergypsy @lennie @hauschildt Thanks for your feedback everyone. The admin team held a vote on this and agreed that we should close the critcare.social server down. We’ll close it on 1st July. Thanks again for some great discussions, and I’ll see you all wherever we ultimately coalesce.
(In my case that’s probably going to be a conference to be honest, I’m increasingly scunnered with social media!)
