#modteam this instance will be shutting down in a month due to no funding coming in from donations. The has been a year of messaging on this, it's finally time to shut the instance down https://opencollective.com/open-media-network/contribute
Social change is a social thing #DIY is never free, but yes it's low cost.

in reply to Admin • • •It takes little money to run the #OMN as everyone is doing the work because they think it's impotent as a social tech project.
But it does cost some money https://opencollective.com/open-media-network/updates/we-currently-run-around-10-openweb-sites-based-on-the-4opens
We have already shut down the search and the chat instances due to lake of funds.
Be the change, fund the alternative, please https://opencollective.com/open-media-network/projects
We currently run around 10 #openweb sites based on the #4opens - Open-Media-Network

in reply to Admin • • •This is sad. The #activism instance we've shared quality, important moments on is shutting down in early Oct due to no #donations. Years of collaboration soon lost.
We've not been able to donate $250 anonymously, so we're going to try a last #workingBee now.
If you NEED 10 HOURS VISUAL DESIGN done, we're taking offers ASAP for donations AUD$250+ to our instance. No email pls, DM only!
Pls BOOST. Help keep activism + get design(s) made.

*WORKING BEE*
We're donating 10 SOLID HOURS of VISUAL DESIGN WORK as pro-designers ready to work for a AUD$250+ donation for this great instance. No email pls, DMs only! *some work pictured
Help 'activism' open-worlds to those who need it.
BOOST to help a miracle happen. Maybe such miracles are only reserved for those with (#MITM) "connections"?

in reply to Dick Smiths Fair Go Supporters • • •Twas a week ago exactly that we discovered our instance will be shut down due to a lack of funds. The activism instance has been operating for years and helping activists.
Please help your fellow activists if you can, especially, if you live in the #UK or Europe and can donate more anonymously.
Ten dollars of $250 raised so far.

For evidence, of how "#trickleDown" does not work, just look at this instance. It has been giving a voice to activists for years and yet is not able to sustain itself at a mere $40 per month.
Our long-running activism instance (UK-based but they move through Europe by boat) is having to shut down on 8 October due to no funds.
