I made a small donation, and if you like it here, I think you should (if you can) too.

I am one of many that have sought out alternatives to Reddit. I really like the feel of how this community works. I’ve not seen them push the need for support, but I’m sure they’re feeling it. It’s clear they’ve made changes in the past couple of days to help support the growth & load.

That said, servers and bandwidth aren’t free, and they’ve seen a massive wave of influx.

I’m not affiliated with Beehaw in any way other than being part of the exodus from Reddit, and I like it here.

*This is my first actual non-comment post, so here’s hoping I didn’t mess this up.

    Even if we were willing to pay the API fee at 20x the estimated per-user revenue, they wanted to gut the content available by killing NSFW. I understand porn is politically/legally challenging at this time, fine exclude that. Now consider how much more content would be excluded from a paying user. There’s a LOT flagged as NSFW on reddit that has nothing to do with porn.
