Looks like theres a final surprise in the form of a song in Apollo now that it’s closed.
Can anyone identify the artist?
EDIT: someone managed to find it. From Christian’s YouTube page:
A fun parody of Sarah McLachlan’s I Will Remember You performed by the incredible Zoe Wynns
Yes, each server has its own financing.
Genuine question: Why would anyone be inclined to host a server? Do they get anything out of it?
I just think it’s neat lmao
It’s not very expensive yet as I have under 100 users, if it gets more expensive I’ll ask for donations. If that doesn’t cover it, I’ll just stop letting new people register
Could be a multitude of reasons. Some people just really enjoy sysadmin work, some maybe want to play around with the software. Places like Beehaw have a goal of creating what they consider to be an open and welcoming community. Some even have nefarious reasons for hosting (luckily we have defederation).
