The future of aussie.zone... (aussie.zone)

First up.. this is not a call for donations.

Without going into the personal details as to why: I don't have the energy to give this place the attention it needs, and I'm no longer willing to cover the majority of running costs.

I don't have a fully fledged solution to this, and don't have the energy to come up with one. The best I can come up with is I hand the reins over to Nath, and some sort of community funding is set up to cover costs.

If anyone knows of above board methods to establish a crowd funded piggy bank for something like this, I'm all ears.

Hey hey, firstly, a huge thanks to you and Lodion for everything you've done with Aussie.Zone. I'd really love to see it continue.

I'm more than happy to chip in financially, but I also have some time and would be keen to offer some practical help.

I noticed you mentioned needing assistance with the finances and reporting. That's something I could potentially help with, along with documenting the existing setup and working through what a sustainable operating model might look like.

I've got experience with planning, governance and financial modelling, as well as a fair bit of hands-on experience with self-hosted services and infrastructure. I'm certainly not a Lemmy expert, but I'm comfortable working through the technical side.

I wouldn't want to create more work for you, particularly while you're managing the transition, but if that sounds useful I'd be very happy to help.

And Lodion, thank you for creating this place. It's genuinely something special. ❤️
