How can there be no ads? Because your admins are paying for the servers and run them as a hobby. It's not crazy expensive, but it does take up free time. They still do it because they enjoy the communities that develop. These instances are free with no ads because nice people are running them as a gift for you because they like you. Now, is that better than Facebook's or Twitter's business model or what?

@lambadalambda I spend half my time on twitter blocking adds. Sometimes 1 in 5 tweets there is a fucking add.

@lambadalambda Seriously how do people communicate on a long term basis that way, good for sharing links but fuck all else.

@messgorough there isn't much communication on twitter, mostly people building their 'brand'.
