Hello again you scallywags, welcome to to 2025! After last month’s post we had a pretty amazing showing and we finished the funding for the year with quite a bit to spare! Not only that, but thanks to our 26 subscribers, we are completely self-reliant as we have enough stable subscriptions coming in to cover all our costs. Extra thanks to the two Salty Dogs who carry ~40% of the hosting costs on their own!

I have now opened the goal for the next half-year and I’m fairly confident we’ll be able to cover it easily. Cause y’all are excellent.

On a more personal note, I want to say I regularly run into people mentioning our little corner of the fediverse, and the reactions I see seem always positive from the wider lemmy populace. Almost nobody has much of anything bad to say about the Divisions by zero and it just gives me a warm feeling inside to see a notoriously contentious bunch as y’all, manages to have us in high regards throughout. I live for such comments!

Alright, that’s all. Carry on.

    Seriously thanks for this kooky little slice of the internet. I hopped instances for a bit, and this one is tops! o7

    I know you’re in the EU but the foreign transaction fees prevent me from donating. If you ever need US funds, let me know.

      If you want to contribute, there’s plenty of other ways other than money. Are you into GenAI at all perhaps?

        I am not. And I’m not into crypto either.

        If you have a way for me to contribute outside of telling people to pirate shit, let me know! 😂

          Hah fair enough, but I’m not into crypto either. Anyway just be a positive member of the community and it’s good enough 😆

    Wait you are telling me that 26 subs was enough to hold the instance afloat? Holy shit take my money!

      Potentially less (or more), depends on the level of subscription :)
