It takes little money to run the #OMN as everyone is doing the work because they think it's impotent as a social tech project.

But it does cost some money https://opencollective.com/open-media-network/updates/we-currently-run-around-10-openweb-sites-based-on-the-4opens

We have already shut down the search and the chat instances due to lake of funds.

Be the change, fund the alternative, please https://opencollective.com/open-media-network/projects

This is sad. The #activism instance we've shared quality, important moments on is shutting down in early Oct due to no #donations. Years of collaboration soon lost.

We've not been able to donate $250 anonymously, so we're going to try a last #workingBee now.

If you NEED 10 HOURS VISUAL DESIGN done, we're taking offers ASAP for donations AUD$250+ to our instance. No email pls, DM only!

Pls BOOST. Help keep activism + get design(s) made.

HELP! This instance will close down in one month without funds.

WORKING BEE

We're donating 10 SOLID HOURS of VISUAL DESIGN WORK as pro-designers ready to work for a AUD$250+ donation for this great instance. No email pls, DMs only! *some work pictured

Help 'activism' open-worlds to those who need it.

BOOST to help a miracle happen. Maybe such miracles are only reserved for those with (#MITM) "connections"?

Dear human followers,

Please, PLEASE help this activism instance stay alive and thrive, so it can help to open worlds for people trying to do things better.

Donate to our admin $250 and get our above pictured design skills directed into your pet project.

@witchescauldron

It looks like we are $10 into a short-medium term target of $250.

1 out of 25 so far.

Please chip in and/or BOOST help to keep activism.openworlds alive.

Thanks.

Twas a week ago exactly that we discovered our instance will be shut down due to a lack of funds. The activism instance has been operating for years and helping activists.

Please help your fellow activists if you can, especially, if you live in the #UK or Europe and can donate more anonymously.

Ten dollars of $250 raised so far.

GOING MASTO'DOWN'

For evidence, of how "#trickleDown" does not work, just look at this instance. It has been giving a voice to activists for years and yet is not able to sustain itself at a mere $40 per month.

Our long-running activism instance (UK-based but they move through Europe by boat) is having to shut down on 8 October due to no funds.

There need to be solutions for this kind of thing...

Too many #instances dying for no cause
