I made a small donation, and if you like it here, I think you should (if you can) too.

I am one of many that have sought out alternatives to Reddit. I really like the feel of how this community works. I’ve not seen them push the need for support, but I’m sure they’re feeling it. It’s clear they’ve made changes in the past couple of days to help support the growth & load.

That said, servers and bandwidth aren’t free, and they’ve seen a massive wave of influx.

Here’s the Open Collective Page with more info.

I’m not affiliated with Beehaw in any way other than being part of the exodus from Reddit, and I like it here.

*This is my first actual non-comment post, so here’s hoping I didn’t mess this up.

    On the open collective, you can see all the expenses we pay. Worth noting that the current upgrades to hosting this month are not account for.

    This month we expect our hosting costs to be between 96$ and 336$ because we’re being prorated on Digital Ocean and trying to scale to keep the site running smooth.
