Hello folks! Gibberfish was founded two years ago to bring private, decentralized services to people who need them. We provide private cloud servers to other nonprofits at no charge. We also run a bunch of free, anonymous, public services, including this pod. While we're very happy to be doing this work, it's expensive to maintain. Since we started, I and my fellow founders have poured thousands of our own dollars into the project. Unfortunately, this is not sustainable. So, here is our ask:

If you use our Diaspora* pod, our chat server, our anonymous search engine, or any of our other services, please reflect on their value to you and to the online community. If you feel that it's worth $1 per month, please consider supporting us on an ongoing basis on Patreon.

If you're already a Patreon user, it's only a couple of clicks. If you don't wish to use Patreon, please visit our website for other ways to donate. If we can reach a level where we can reliably cover our monthly operating costs, we will be able to add extra capacity to improve our existing services, as well as offer new ones. Please feel free to make suggestions.

Thank you for being awesome. Please share this post.

Sincerely,
@[Brian Ó 🐟](/u/blacksam)
Executive Director @ Gibberfish
