Wait this is in the US? How, this is even more expensive than Hawaii, and they have obvious reasons for power to be more expensive there

That seems really high, I think power where I live is about 12-14 cents per kilowatt hour. What makes it so expenses where you live?

It’s not like the current group of users is perfect either. There’s a lot of circlejerk opinions going around, and I’ve seen being get majorly downvoted for posting factual info that went against the “hivemind” opinion.

That was a good investigation and explanation about a weird number of up votes. Thanks for explaining it.

I know there was an issue not long ago where Sopuli had to defederate from kbin for awhile. Kbin had a federation bug that was endlessly spamming federation updates and it was causing Sopuli to fall behind on federation.

Mbin had a fix up pretty quick, but several attempts to reach the Kbin admin all failed.

Yeah, that’s about as far as I got with that method.

Last I checked, the Sopuli admin said that running his instance cost pocket change, $20-30 a month. That might have been before the explosive growth though.

I do think he had a donate link to buy them coffee though.

If I understand right, the lemmy devs are already paid to develop lemmy full time. I don’t fully understand the arrangements or who’s paying them though.
