Why open a port when you can do tailscale/vpn or tunnel.

Nah, don’t give that much credit to a loud minority.

Are you a child? Who has discussions like this??

I mean, unrealistic to get anything close to all active users donating. Nobody should be expecting to setup an instance an expect tens of thousands of dollars a month.

As an indie dev back in the day, it’s a fraction of uses are willing to fork anything at all.

If anything, if you’re a whale, go big on your individual donation if you want a large impact.

Either way, you shouldn’t need that much money to cover server costs for a mere 16,000 users.

That would make it unusable for single user instances…

In the 30s range at least in my experience.

Not most I know lol

Well, if bluesky official site goes down, it all goes down.

Only account data can be self hosted but at the end, it all centers around one server to make the full magic happen.

I mean, we gotta draw the line somewhere. Seems reasonable to not want official community discussions to happen in a proprietary platform. We got where we are with the internet because of complacency.

Eh, I rather things be deleted from mainstream instance at least. Don’t gotta be all or nothing to improve the current experience.
