I have nothing of substance to add but I love you and the people who make this website run.

Honestly, y’all make the world a better place by helping keep the future of social media alive and growing and by providing a home for people that is astonishingly rare in its genuine and open nature.

There are many things we can do in this world to impact it, many things we believe that are required of us in order to make the world turn (we all must suffer at shitty workplaces for 40+ hours a week), but many of those things are small acts that change only the fabric and weave immediately around us in the tapestry of our lives.

Helping maintain and run sopuli.xyz is NOT one of those acts, it is a major strategic offensive against a shitty corporate social media hellscape that simultaneously is a friendly home for good people to chat, what you are doing by helping keep the servers running or whatever is helping maintain an extremely transformative and powerful force.

Please remind yourself of that every day, the work you are doing is beautiful and inspiring in the simplicity and openness of the gift you provide the world through your labor.

Damn alright good to know. I figured the reduction in price came from surveillance capitalism in some form or other but I have never had a payment or key issue with them. I just thought I was dumpsterdiving and might get kind of dirty, but thought fanatical was relatively legit… but yeah fuck fandom it is cancer for web browsers ughhhh.
