Just for the benefit of anyone who doesn't know: aussie.zone is "free" because we (the users) pay for it. We don't need to serve you ads.
We won't sell what you say or upload, either - but keep in mind that everything you say here is federated and essentially public. Someone will probably come along at some point and scrape all our data. We won't know it has happened and the open nature of the fediverse makes it impossible to prevent. So keep all that in mind.
How much is hosting? I'd be happy to chip in and pay for a month or a percentage of the year or whatever. Sometimes I wonder about hosting charges when I upload images.
Our present costs are about $85/mo. We're pretty much funded at this point with existing donations through to the end of the year.
Lodion does periodical updates in the Meta Community on how hosting and finances are going.
