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
Ok so each person hosts their own server, and thus pays for the server? Something along those lines?
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?
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).
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
