For people curious, we had a long discussion last week: https://feddit.org/post/2471872/1817865
In summary
- I’m still not convinced on rglullis’ business model, relying on 30$ yearly subscription to keep running the instances (I’m afraid that after a while, he’ll get tired of trying and then will have to shut down all the instances due to costs)
- I’m not a moderator of !football@lemmy.world , so it’s not even my community

They need $300000 - $450000 a year to live in minimal comfort? Sounds real modest :)

Running the topic based instances are not the main costs. Even if I went to shut down Communick (I won’t, because believe it or not it’s getting close to break even) the last thing I would let go are the domains, which can/could be easily transferred to some organization.

I can make you moderator of the communities, so it would be one more reason to move there?

I already mod too many communities, there was a call last week that I declined.
At the moment the priority is to grow the community enough that’s not only me posting.
Once we’ll get there, we can discuss where to bring the community.

I’d be posting as well, and if you see the NFL communities, they are also getting some momentum from Mastodon users.
