anime graf mays 🛰️🪐 (npub108z…dkr5) had to remind people that his network of services wouldn't make it unless he got a day job, and he caught a lot of heat - and love - as a result. But I hate to watch him come to that point, because it could just as easily be me.
Well, actually, it kinda is us. NHTB survives because of the love we have for our little community, and our fallen brother (no, he's not dead) Illuminazi paid for it out of his pocket for years, and npub1svejs6vywtvd85yzhjpx4k09wprg5g7aj58pfdfykls3stneq62s6szrym (npub1sve…zrym) before that as well.
While on the other hand, misskey.io is rumored to have raked in $10k recently. A Japanese instance, and since I can't read moonrunes anymore, I don't know what they're talking about. But they really got quite the boost from whatever caused their instance to get flooded suddenly.
Friends, this isn't about me, or graf, or japs, this is about the preservation of our communications infrastructure. This is about the love for our White brothers and sisters. This is about preserving your mind and sanity - such as it is - by providing services that aren't there to specifically target your hormones and make you the product. This is about excising the ghosts of Edward Bernays and Sigmund Freud from our technology, so that we can have a healthy future, hand-in-hand with these technologies.
Please, if you can, donate gladfully to the sysops running the services you use. If you can't, try to encourage others who can to do the same. I would even appreciate your fervent prayers in our case, for the strength and resolve to keep this wagon going, however we can. Please, I beg of you, don't make me, my friends or compatriots beg for donations.
quotingthe outpouring of support for us today is humbling. we appreciate all the help. thank you friends
