Little FYI;
I am NOT earning ANYTHING from mstdn.social 😉 In fact it's the opposite, Every week I work about 40-50 hours for a company so I can earn money and pay for the servers, domain, media storage and email services and don't get me wrong. I'm VERY happy to do that ❤️ and I will NOT stop doing that for a long time!
We do get donations and that's a BIG help! But still I need to pay much from my own pocket so keep that in mind. We are not a company, we are not Twitter, we drive on #love! ❤️
@stux Curious what’s the per month cost of keeping this instance running?
@tariquesani Currently around €125-€150 ;-)
@Full_marx 4.51K
active* (https://mstdn.social/about) @tariquesani
The figure on that page is weird.
User count is less than active user count. I don't understand how that works.
Shouldn't active users be less than total users?
----------------
If that's the case with 4.51k, effective cost per user is EUR - is 0.03
But suppose only 500 end up paying 5 euros / year could work no?
I thought the same but that would mean the total number that have migrated isn't disclosed.
Need more clarity on stats.
This is a gold mine of information.(Somewhat)
@Full_marx Haha I'm also wondering the same thing. Maybe @Gargron could explain this? Maybe it's due migrated users or something?
Yes sure, that would be more then enough I guess :)
