When I left Twitter, I worried that it would impact my ability to make a living.

That worry was unfounded.

Would I be doing better if I was still on Twitter? Perhaps. But looking at my #ryoms visitors on Kickstarter, it's clear that the fedi is a more than adequate replacement.

Thanks for sharing, everyone. I appreciate your support.

I should also add:

I am SUPER MEGA TURBO RELIEVED that the fedi can replace Twitter. That was a very scary decision.

oooh, another Kickstarter lesson learned. Pledges have slowed--except they haven't, not exactly.

The stretch goal ebook freebies are also available as add-on items. As stretch goals are met, people are going into their pledges and removing add-on copies.

Solidly predictable, if I was smart.

@mwl TBH, I hadn’t thought of doing that until you mentioned it, so that’s two of us that could be smarter.

@davepolaschek @mwl three of us... Tho I only need to do that if it hits 20k... And tbh probably don't need to worry about the extra fiver...

Your support over the last thirteen hours has blown me away. Thank you.

Running your own mail server is not LEET.

It is, however, LOEET. Does that count?

This is insane. I'm losing my crap.

"Run Your Own Mail Server" has blown through the initial stretch goals.

At $10k, all backers receive an ebook of "Ed Mastery." I'm told it teaches experienced sysadmins things about Unix they never imagined.

hypolite,

@mwl I'm not the audience for this campaign, as exemplified by my first thought when I read your post which was that it feels like it costs $10k to run your own mail server. 😅

Lunch with writer friends and a chance comment across the fedi tonight made me realize that my artistic goal is to collect headpats from Satan.

glitzersachen,

@mwl

Noble, that goal. +1 for style.

Spent an hour debugging why Thunderbird wouldn't work for submission to my mail server, and finally realized:

the bad password I entered and reentered?

blocklistd(8) works. It works super well.
