Hi guys,

The server just got upgraded to double the memory and cores. We had some peak periods where 8 GB was not enough to run everything, and now we get 8 more cores as well to serve more memes faster. :)

Plenty of room for more users too, if they should decide to join.

Thanks for picking this instance, guys. Enjoy Lemmy!

I was wondering why it went down for a few minutes yesterday.

Also

Noice!

MrManager is like the cool evening/night shift manager lol. Fairly hands off, no stress, lets adults be adults and handle it. The whole ‘I trust you unless you give me a reason not to.’ Low key gets shit done without you even noticing. It ain’t for everybody, but that’s the type of management style I vibe with. Hats off to you, sir. o7

Absolutely. I believe most people are good and deserve a lot of respect. Just being here on lemmy is a sign of walking your own path away from the mainstream platforms. I really respect that.

That's why my main account is here after trying five instances. Best instance by far.

@mrmanager@lemmy.today Thanks. That'll also cost more. You've never asked for donations, but if you've changed your mind, I'd be happy to chip in.

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 5 points 4 hours ago

I remember you asked before too! :) The total cost for the server is only something like 40 dollars per month, and for me, thats something I will gladly spend so this server can exist for everyone. But thank you so much for offering, you are clearly a generous person!

Thank you, mister. 🫡

Thank you for all that you do!

Thanks for the instance. 🙂

It has been pretty solid for me, and the overall neutrality of the place is much appreciated. It has allowed me to speak my mind with honesty, which is something I couldn't do on Reddit.

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 5 points 5 hours ago

Its very important for me too. I really dislike when comments from ordinary users are removed by mods just because the mods or other users dont agree with what they say. So we are not doing that here at least. :)

Cool! Looks like Home now loads noticeably faster for me.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 7 points 12 hours ago

Thanks for making this place so cool!
