So there's a bit of a difficult conversation to be had about this instance's finances. #MetaArchaeoSocial
From the start we've run entirely on a collective, pay-what-you-can model through https://opencollective.com/archaeosocial.
Since our operating costs are modest (c. €1 per active user per month), my hope was we could be sustainable this way. Two years in, it is clear this is not happening. The gap between costs and contributions is widening and we are now running a €190 per month deficit.
