Hello everyone. I know that these are tough times for many people. If you derive value from the fediverse and have the means to do so, please consider donating to support your instance. Most instances rely on donations to pay the bills (infosec.exchange and friends cost over $3000/month to host).
Instructions on how to donate are generally available on your instance's "about" page (for example: https://infosec.exchange/about)
Also, I firmly believe that access to the fediverse should not be tied to one's ability to pay, and I think it's even more important for those in difficult situations to maintain the social connections that the fediverse provides, so (at least in my view) donations are welcome, but not required in any way.
And for those people who already donate, my hats off to you. You make the fediverse possible.

The kids were guessing the ingredients of my stroganoff sauce.
