Hi so, i've been putting this off for a bit but i think i need to say something about it

i run a bunch of stuff for free,, altbot, fuzzies.wtf, wellness-p.ing, ventboard.site and a few other things.

mostly i just quietly covered the costs of whatever the donations couldn't, using my own money. that was fine especially when i lived at home.

i moved to uni. now the gap kinda comes out of my food budget. which... is not ideal..

server and infrastructure costs run me $165/mo. donations have also been slowly going down recently,, which is totally fine, life happens,, but it's gotten to a point where i feel like i should say something rather than quietly struggle

if you use any of this stuff and can spare anything, even just a one time thing, it would actually really help

no pressure, things will stay free but just know it gets harder for me to keep doing stuff like this. love you all! <3

@micr0 I just sponsored micr0-dev. Go sponsor your open source dependencies!

Since I have a job I sponsor 10 bucks a month, but since this month is a bit hard I did an additional small drop. You should too, you know

@micr0 I think its a cool idea. you will probably get more help and more follows though if it was free to check out or see and then after a few post or if they want more they can move up to other tiers. like putting a gold star on the best of the best, then a silver one then a bronze and then everyone else. lol

@micr0 hey, I've been using altbot for a while, but have you had to pause it while you get finances sorted? Or have I disrupted my connection somehow?

I'm mostly unemployed, with minimal income myself now, but I did repost this, and hope you find what you need.
