Just renewed my payment to @Psy_Fer_ to keep genomics.social running. I am truly grateful for this space - it's become my favourite, and nearly my only, "social media" hangout. It just feels so much nicer around here without the toxic positivity of LinkedIn or the constant self-marketing of Twitter/Bsky. If you feel the same, consider donating to your instance's host, too 😉
@bensb the timing of this couldn't be better, because I'm soon posting a breakdown of the instance costs and community support so far (and I'm in the red 😅)
@bensb @Psy_Fer_ I make a regular monthly payment to mine; not because the administrator asks for it, but because I know how much work it is to run an instance, and that it is not free.
