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.

    How big a proportion of potential supporters do you think would prefer to pay in crypto?

    I’m in column A, but not column B. Just for “statistical purposes”.

      If we were a non-NSFW instance, I wouldn’t add crypto but anonymity is important for some people (me included).

        I mean since you brought up crypto I accept that as a given.

        Just think that most people aren’t into crypto as much as those who are into crypto like to think.
