Gregory's Server

re: quote tweet. soapbox/rebased already does it for a while, you should ask @alex about how the implementation works.
re: donation to servers. I may be biased (being AFAICT the only admin of a commercial instance where access is by subscription) but I'm pretty sure that what I am charging ($5/month for 10 users) is a lot more sustainable and affordable than the instances that will have to beg for donations.
@raphael @cassidyjames @andresmh @Gillian "beg" is a bit loaded—think about Dwarf Fortress compared with smaller games trying to ask for subscriptions. If it's sufficiently popular, the money's enough from whoever has it to give. They just have to value it.
Yes every user adds to the load, but once people sign on to Patreons, they normally only get off them around tax season or major life changes.
