Why open a port when you can do tailscale/vpn or tunnel.

As an engineer with almost 2 decades of experience (including streaming sites)... It is.

Easier said than done. Reason after all these years it still hasn't been addressed.

illegal non-KYC number? You can just get a legit one without breaking any laws my dude.

Am I the only one seeing this reply as dismissive? What's up with this "is ur problem if you see it like that" boomer mentality. Empathy goes a long way. Especially when the other poster was so eloquent with their reply.

Nah, don't give that much credit to a loud minority.

Are you a child? Who has discussions like this??

I mean, unrealistic to get anything close to all active users donating. Nobody should be expecting to setup an instance an expect tens of thousands of dollars a month.

As an indie dev back in the day, it's a fraction of uses are willing to fork anything at all.

If anything, if you're a whale, go big on your individual donation if you want a large impact.

Either way, you shouldn't need that much money to cover server costs for a mere 16,000 users.

If it's digital, there's an algorithm somewhere.

That would make it unusable for single user instances....

In the 30s range at least in my experience.

Not most I know lol

Got it! Whatcha liking on Voyager more?

What app? :)

Welcome! Nice to have you here!

The point I'm trying to make with some snark is: it's not a static platform, it's open to all those who are capable to make the change they want. Not to take the fediverse as a single entity.

I mean, maybe it's just different vocabulary for both of us?

To me: a blackbox is a thing where input and output comes out in a consistent way, very functional. While the box can make accurate predictions or decisions, the exact reasoning behind them is often unclear.

Fedi is ours, so make a PR adding support for it!

I mean, still sounds like a black box.

Legit use case! Kind of bummed is not lol
