Thanks @smorks@lemmy.ca for everything you do.

I know no one likes to talk about it because they think it looks cheap or desperate but I'll say it anyway.

SUPPORT YOUR LEMMY INSTANCE

I believe and it's my opinion that we should all normalize paying just a little bit to our instance operators to keep their service running. They have to pay costs for maintaining services and running hardware, the costs aren't much for a small instance but the costs grow as the system becomes popular with more users and more active users.

The more we normalize giving just a bit to our instance, the better protected they will become from burning out administrators, managers and owners who pay for the things that keep this engine running.
