When I joined u/Ruud had recently posted about getting to 1k users on this instance and was just upscaling the server. He said it was around $20 a month back then. I assume he has scaled it again since after seeing things slow and recover again. I know he has been putting a lot of effort into this.
I’m personally on a fixed income of limited means, but I am extremely grateful to Ruud, Kyle, Michelle, and the team, and all of you that are willing and able to throw in a few bucks to keep this thing going. Sincerely!
And it’s even crazier that this instance was only created like 10 days ago!
In a few years there’ll be more users than atoms!
I’m an old vet of 9 days on midwest.social
I’ve been here for like 6 days and feel like an old fossil with how quickly things are growing and changing!
8.56k
That means the current rate is around 0.275k per hour.
It will break 10k in the next 6 hours, and this is only getting started.
Good luck, I sense more influx inbound!
Heck yeah let’s party!
