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.

I donated the other day and I'm glad to see the user base here so willing to support the project!

If we want these places to succeed, we need to be willing to pay for them. It's the only way to keep things running ad and data collection free.

I would have been happy paying Reddit to keep 3rd party app access... But they clearly think my data is worth more than a direct monthly fee. So I'll give them neither and hang out here instead.
