A look behind the curtain to understand the cost of running the #openweb
Published on February 5, 2023 by hamishcampbell

This was the mess of https://activism.openworlds.info during the #twittermigration we had to keep removing thousands of off-topic accounts to keep the instance online, the legacy of this is still coursing database problems, and building up running costs.

This peeks at 2 million actions.

This is the history of https://campaign.openworlds.info both of the instances were funding sustainable till November, now they are completely untenable with our current monthly donations.

This instance peeks at half a million actions.

To help you read the data, green is user activity, red is server overload/errors.

It takes funding to keep the #openweb running, we need at least ONE % OF OUR USERS TO DONATE monthly to keep the instances online.
