@vmstan@vmst.io have you been hacked? And doesn’t the covenant stipulate 3 months warning time?

@vmstan@vmst.io If you're open to having someone else take over the hosting and running of the site to keep it online past June 30th I'd be happy to help and keep the instance online.

While the decision to close the instance might seem sudden, it’s something I have quietly considered for some time. The abrupt announcement last night has led some to wonder about my personal health. I’m fine. Thank you for asking. Simply put, continuing to run the instance as it has always been has required a substantial personal investment of thousands of dollars per year. Each month’s hosting bill exceeded donation revenue by over 2x.
