I'm also an owner/admin of this (mastodon.gamedev.place) instance. This was setup back in late 2017, and recently became 5 years old, ha!

For Some Reason™️, recently this instance got a lot of new activity, I wonder why. Back in 2017 I thought this would grow to couple hundred, or max couple thousand users.

It's at 14k active users now :mindblown:

Be nice to each other, y'all!

I get a *ton* of questions whether people can help in running all this. Thanks!

I might start thinking about something (Patreon/Kofi/Contribee/Liberapay/whatever), since fairly quickly this instance went from needing ~60eur/month to ~800eur/month.

Here's a chart of "number of jobs" processed on the backend by Redis, whatever "job" and "backend" and "redis" is :)

That's all for now! Here's a picture of a dog in today's snowy weather.

@sheredom I dunno man, as soon as you got mountains around you have no right to complain about other aspects of nature :)

@aras All I want out of social media is science/engineering...and cute animals. Lots of cute animals.

I'm taking your post as affirmation that cute animals are welcome on gamedev.place, which is excellent.
