Ok, this is the first time I’ve received a request to create an account from an AI agent. Are other admins also starting to receive these kinds of requests?

I think I’m going to block all email addresses from agentwire.email

Hi, my name is Timothée Goguely. I’m a french web designer and developer, and I’m also the admin of mastodon.design.

Liberapay
💸 Looking back to 2024, the total cost of mastodon.design was 1,323€: 66€ for our domain name + 1,257€ for our hosting via masto.host.
📊 Over the same period, our number of monthly active users fell from 373 to 325 (−48), while the number of total members rose from 819 to 1100 (+281).
📊 Our disk space usage has been multiplied by 3 over the last year (from 11.9 GB to 35.78 GB), and its capacity by 2 (from 20 GB to 40 GB).

📈 But as mentioned in our previous announcement, the main problem we face is the continuous growth of our Database. Indeed, while our Media disk space is only 33.39 % full (133.56 GB / 400 GB), our Database disk space is already 89.45 % full (35.78 GB / 40 GB).

On Masto.host, each unit of Extra Resources add-on costs 10$ / month (without tax) and adds 4 Processing Threads, 4 GB of Database, and 40 GB of Media Storage: https://masto.host/pricing/#Add-ons
