Hey everyone, I just wanted to say thank you for supporting kbin.earth and Interstellar!
Thanks to all our generous sponsors, all expenses from the year 2025 (including server rental, object storage, domains, Apple Developer License, and Apple hardware) have been covered; almost no out-of-pocket needed from me. That's a huge deal!
To the Mbin team: none of this would be possible without you! You've forked /kbin and have kept supporting it ever since, adding new features, diagnosing and fixing bugs, recommending server setup improvements, and much more. You guys are quick to respond and are nothing but reliable! Special shout out to @BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de and @melroy@kbin.melroy.org!
To Interstellar's co-developer: thank you @olorin99 for literally being around since the beginning. Interstellar's very first commit was on Dec 11, 2023, and yours was just a few weeks after, on Dec 28, 2023, adding initial support for microblogs. Thanks for contributing to and developing Interstellar all this time!
To kbin.earth's mods/admins: thanks for keeping this place clean and manageable! Especially checking for sign up requests every day :) @green_copper @kindenough @aasatru
Lastly, thanks to all the 1-off contributors, translators, anonymous sponsors, and anyone else I haven't mentioned. And of course, all you users who stick around here :)
Lol, nothing like that, just expressing my gratitude!
