Gabe Newell has done a lot for gamers and SPECIALLY for us in Linux Gaming, but he’s still a billionaire with a yacht collection , give him props for his contributions but i don’t think adding him to a “Good people list” is quite on point
Yeah, i was not necessarily looking for a hosting by the project devs, just seeing if there was some company offering managed hosting like masto.host and others do for Mastodon and so on, i have a general idea how much would it cost to have managed Mastodon and was curious about other Fedi options for this
