  1. With all the hard work @theropologist has been doing to get Beige up to date, and to keep it running smoothly, to keep the party 🪩 going...
    I was able to tip :kofi: a little bit again to support all the efforts, and to keep the party going strong :drinky:.

    Remember that Mastodon/the FediVerse :fedi: is run by many hard working enthusiasts. Because of their knowledge, dedication, and hard work, the FediVerse is as strong as it is now, with many instances to choose from.
    These instances don't run for free... The admins have to spend money to run them, besides spending their valuable time to keep it all up and running, and properly moderated.

    When you can, look at the instance info, and see if there is a way to support them! 🪎

    I am definitely not rich, but, whenever I am able, I try to tip the server with a coffee :ablobcatcoffee:. I wish to keep beige up and running, and I support that effort when I can! Please try to do the same for your instance! :ablobcatangel:

    Thank you @theropologist for all the hard work!!! :bb: I hope that my/our ☕ support will help to keep beige going proud and strong!

  5. PSA about our hosting instances:

    Just a quick reminder to folks, that the instances that host all of our content cost people actual money to maintain and run, quite apart from the owners', volunteers' and moderators' time and energy. If you can, don't forget to support them financially if and as you are able. Where would we be without them?

    There will be information on how and where to do that on your own instance info, or a quick question to a moderator will give you the lowdown, I'm sure.

    Please boost for visibility.

  7. So, there are days when I feel like the #Fediverse, being what it is, could be a giant #HiveMind -- a sharing of ideas of what works, what doesn't, and most of all -- #BuildingCommunity! Without the restriction of #techoligarchy #algorithms (and the dedication of Mods and Server hosts)!

  11. @tante But also, regarding sustainable funding: If you (yes, you, dear reader!) read this and you think your instance admin is doing a decent job keeping your digital home afloat, take this opportunity to figure out whether they're accepting donations and send a few bucks their way. Maybe do it monthly even!

  12. Yowzers. So I set up a Vipps Box :vipps: so that anyone who is not a Ko-Fi or Patreon or PayPal member can donate money to the oslo.town server fund.

    qr.vipps.no/box/6fc8a0e2-8c86-

    It's not super cheap to run oslo.town, but thanks to our members we cover a large percentage of running costs. 🙏

  14. Hallo liebe Fediverse-Leute auf bildung.social — da geht doch noch was, oder?

    bildung.social/about

    Es gibt doch sicher eine Menge Menschen hier, die Schillers Bürgschaft kennen. Wie wär’s dann mit „Ich sei, gewährt mir die Bitte, in eurem Bunde der Dritte“, damit sich Gratian und ich nicht einsam fühlen? 😎

  18. If you're hosted in astrodon.social, please be aware that our admin @sebinthestars has a Buy Me a Coffee account where we can support him — at least partially — with small donations…

    He keeps us both updated and safe, so please consider giving him a few cloud-free nights…

  19. If you're new to #Mastodon or the #Fediverse, remember that supporting the service you're using is a good practice and we should pick up this habit, of course if you have the chance. Freedom from the data market's fuckeries comes with a price, the self hosting price.

    Support your admins!!

  21. Neue Writefreely-Instanz

    Ich bin gerade von fimidi.com zu tchncs.de mit #Pixelfed und #Writefreely umgezogen. Der bisherige Instanzbetreiber hat uns leider schon verlassen.

    Ich halte es für wichtig, dass wir Nutzerinnen des #Fediverse unsere #Instanzbetreiberinnen unterstützen.

    Die Sicherung, Pflege und Wartung bedeutet viel Aufwand und das #Hosting einer #Instanz ist kostspielig. […]

  23. Hello everyone! I'm just wanting to post a quick reminder to all of you, especially those of you who are just joining Cubhub, that this place belongs to YOU. There's no advertising, no algorithm: just the content that you want to see.

    With that said, it's really important to remember that this place cannot exist without your support. If you can, please chip in a few dollars to CubHub's Patreon. This instance (like most instances) relies heavily on donations to cover its operating costs. Running a social web service like Cubhub costs a lot of money - as more people join, the costs of things like hosting and DDOS protection get more expensive, and during a surge of new joins (as we see somewhat often when Xitter hiccups), those costs can also surge unexpectedly. If you can't/won't use Patreon, please check with @Rusty for other ways to donate.

    The more funding Cubhub has available to make improvements to their services and cover those unexpected expenses, the better it is for ALL of us. Let's all pull together and keep this place as strong and healthy as we can <3

  24. @c_9

    Wholeheartedly agree. We set up a monthly donation to mstdn.ca almost a year ago, because we enjoy our community here. If everyone donated a little, we could be assured our community will be here for years to come.

  25. I want to take the moment to give a huge THANK YOU to whomever recently donated to #AllThingsTech!!

    Myself and @cliffwade truly appreciate it. These donations go directly to server costs and other costs that keep our community running.

  26. While the month is half over, that means it's only about 2 weeks until it's time to "pay server costs" again here at #AllThingsTech

    If you enjoy the instance and if you have the ability to do so, help support the instance by making a donation. Any amount helps cover server costs. You can do so via the link below.

    ko-fi.com/allthingstech

    This isn't mandatory by any means. Only if you have something to spare as it's a huge help.

  30. Noticed my instance was down briefly which was my cue to donate some money to my admin (@stux) to help shoulder the costs of new users.

    Someone donated money to make the instance running smooth for me when I got here, and now it’s my turn to return the favor.

    If you're on mas.to like me, please go here and buy Trumpet a box of doughnuts:

    OR find your own admin, they're often hung upside down by their tails, they're primarily nocturnal and feign death on attack. Hissing means they love you.

    They enjoy grubs and Hobnobs, failing that COLD HARD CASH.

  39. CW: Support your Mastodon Server

    To me, moving to Mastodon was liberating. I want Mastodon to be capable of absorbing future migration waves and maintain its independence.

    I have one main account and two side accounts on other servers. I can't afford much, but I think Elon Musk's infamous 8-dollar (8-pound) fee is a good starting point for a monthly contribution to each server.

  41. Viele posten jetzt, dass Mastodon Geld ausgeschlagen habe, als es aus dem Sillicon Valley kam. Ja, gut so! Moral schön und gut!

    Sind das die Gleichen, die ihre Instanz auch schon finanziell unterstützt haben? Ich meine, irgendwer muss die Server bezahlen, den wir hier mit unserem Quatsch vollschreiben.

    Also: Kein Geld von großen Firmen! Aber dann jetzt jeder Mal 'nen Betrag in die Kasse werfen, bitte.

  42. Have you ever thought about how much advertising folks *had* to sell for your social media presence?

    I'm running some pretty serious infra behind our instances; and I'm keeping a close eye on it today. I'm only a small content creator in a niche and a moderately heavy user.

    It's been a fun morning watching grafana though!

    Thank you to all the admins! You make #mastodon work!

    Everyone reading this: Why not send them a few bucks, euros, pounds -- NOW, while you're thinking about it?

  45. #Mastodon suffered a huge #troll #attack today. That's why things were slow.

    Please don't complain to your admin.

    Instead, PAY THEM SOMETHING, EVEN A LITTLE (IF THAT'S WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD), FOR KEEPING THIS GLOBAL COMMUNITY ALIVE!

    Twitter was free because YOU were the product. That's not how Mastodon works.

  46. Not my line, but I will steal it without shame or credit because I don't recall who posted it:

    Twitter was free because YOU were the product; Mastodon doesn't work this way.

    I just set up a modest (€2/month) recurring payment to my #instance.

    What if everyone did that?

    Admins are now getting huge server bills reflecting exponential growth on this platform.

    #supportyourinstance #supportmastodon #twittermigrant #twittermigration

  47. If you are in a position to do so, please consider supporting the running costs for the Mastodon instance you use.

    For example, The MendedDrum instance (the one I use) can be supported via opencollective.com/mendeddrum

    I was made aware of this link via an Announcement on the Mastodon instance website.

    This announcement wasn't visible in the app I use on mobile (or at least is wasn't obvious). So do pop onto your instance's own web interface now and then to see announcements!
