I honestly do not mind it one but. I quite like the interface. It’s minimal but there are some bugs to it which is to be expected. I really do like the overall design of it though. There isn’t too much going on. It’s like old Reddit which I am a big fan of
I wonder if it would be possible for whoever is running the instance to get with a bunch of people and a group sets up a server and maybe crowd funds the cost of it
I think we’ll see stuff like this happen if growth continues - non-profit and co-op supported servers. I know some folks who manage Mastadon instances have brought this up before.
Shit costs, I don’t think anyone disagrees with that. But there are definitely ways around that. As a user, if I’m benefitting from the service I’m happy to pay a small fee towards keeping my instance humming. Much prefer that than paying with my eyeballs (ads).
Interesting times.
