- 4 new users (+0 MoM)
- 19,502 interactions (-1,250 MoM)
- 1.55 TB of user uploads (+1.1TB MoM)
- 47.2 GB stored in the Postgres database (+10.5 GB MoM)
- 2 TB of traffic served through Cloudflare (+1 MoM, 72% cached)

The large jump in user uploads is unusual... will check on that. Still need to automate the various Mastodon cleanup scripts to save some upload/disk space.

Costs for June 2024

- $60.30 to Hetzner for our 16 vcpu / 32 gb ram VM… (2/6)

- $27.25 to Cloudflare for CDN/SSL/etc
- $14.43 to Backblaze for upload and backup storage

No real changes here, which is good news for costs! (3/6)

In June we took in $129 from 30 monthly donors. Shakedown's operating costs are covered entirely by our community, which allows us to control our own destiny, without any advertisers, private equity or billionaires. It's a beautiful thing, and it's only possibly because of you - so a huge thank you to everyone that donates!

Since our income is greater than our costs this month, that also means we'll be donating $27 to the Mastodon project to help support their development. (4/6)

One closing thought - remember to report toots you see that violate our server rules, which you can check at https://shakedown.social/about… (5/6)

We've had an uptick in reports since the presidential debate, and I expect that will continue through the election in November. As a rule of thumb, our moderators won't see problematic posts unless they are reported, so help us keep us safe.

Think that's it for now! Love and hugs Shakedown 💖 (6/6)
