@indiauplko It is professionally hosted, backed up daily, and running in a fully hardened data center.
It is paid for through donations of which I donated a large quantity of money to the fund. We currently have enough funds to operate well above current capacity for several years. I will donate more money should that ever become an issue.
While users are welcome to donate as well if they wish it is not required for our continued operation. I am happy to personally foot that bill for the foreseeable future. The bank account for #QOTO is stocked :)
@freemo @indiauplko I'd be glad to donate something, even if it is just a token amount. I'm not rollin' in it, but I do feel it is right to support initiatives like #QOTO that encourage dialogue.
@freemo @indiauplko Yeah, let me know. I'm sure others would like to help out, too. We all appreciate getting the service here, I'm sure, but it doesn't feel fair to me to not at least offer to help (And follow up on that offer, of course.)
@freemo @indiauplko Why not both?
@Surasanji
You can do that too :)
@Surasanji Tell ya what, the best way you can help is to try to organize the community in positive ways.
Think of recurring events and/or hashtags we can do that will engage the community in interesting topics.
I think that would help way more than money. Of course, if you choose to help with money it will be appreciated as well.
