I'm enjoying it while I can, and trying not to be pessimistic, but it would be heartbreaking if we had to jump from one instance to another due to the lack of interest of its maintainers along the time.

That's one of the reasons for me to be a patron of .☕ :)

@nolan c'mon, you've been doing a great job so far!
