@alcea it's bundled with some other AWS hosting I already have so it's pretty reasonable, and we've stopped growing for now. And there are some monthly ko-fi donors helping out too which is nice

I recently started doing manual registration approvals due to lots of spam account registrations, and I'm considering just leaving it like that for the time being.

I also have an exit strategy for a worst-case-scenario that will make sure our users don't get screwed, if it ever comes to that :D

Perfect :)

I'm glad I found a place that not only has the best emojis but also a very good roadmap 😻

@alcea fortunately this is not my first community-running rodeo. Some of my early endeavors were not so well thought out xD

It comes with experience

My first #website is an #afterthought too haha

Same for my old (defunct) #php server 🤭

BTW:
You are doing well otherwise , with that job hunting etc ?

I hope you'll find something.

Those mass #layoffs I read about recently seem a bit #unsettling

@alcea it's going so-so. I took November to decompress, and the holiday season means not a lot of recruiting anyway. But I've got a couple of potential leads and a couple more months of severance before I start to use up savings, so it's not so bad yet.

Thank you for asking :) I appreciate the concern

Taking a month off is a good idea 😺

Hope you'll find something that lasts.
Thats the real difficulty.

Or maybe do #Freelancing 😻 ?
