Hi. As you may know, I’ve opened the instance about 12 days ago. Right now, the instance is ranked 6th out of hundreds of instances.

We’re now using 4 vCPU and 16GB RAM server for 38€ which is very cheap (Not that cheap anymore. We’re using dedicated 16 CPU, 48GB RAM server for 160€). But we need donations to continue uploading media or even to increase the limit and move to a better server against instant load. Also we transfered 5TB of media only in 12 days 🤷‍♂️ Thanks to Cloudflare, this didn’t cause much trouble to us.

If you want to donate, here’s donation platforms we use:
Note: I removed old crypto payment methods and Patreon kicked us. We got $182 with old crypto payment methods and $80 from Patreon.

    The reason they won’t reveal is because Pornography is flat out banned in Ukraine, if we revealed this someone might report us and get the host taken away again, similar to what happened when the server used Hetzner.

      Yes. No matter how bulletproof the server provider says it is, I will move it to the Netherlands. The current provider’s prices are very good, but they cannot offer a cheaper alternative. We’re going to switch to a cheaper alternative as Patreon shut us down.
