  You guessed it, this server is for Black queer folks to relax, spread out, and be themselves. This is BlackQueerLife.

  Hello All! As of this month, we are officially short of the amount of money we need in order to cover hosting costs and pay our mods. Our total monthly expenses are about $120 ($50 for each of our two mods and $20 for managed hosting services). Before Open Collective Foundation (our previous fiscal host) went under earlier this year, we had these expenses completely covered. Since we had to transition to self-hosting, we have never hit that mark again. Over the previous months as we have been using Ko-Fi, I have been working behind the scenes to get us to be able to use Open Collective again because of how many different types of donations they accept (we have only been using PayPal with Ko-Fi which is...not ideal). And as of today, I am happy to announce that we can once again accept payments through Open Collective at https://opencollective.com/blackqueerlife **For the first time, you will be able to make donations through Stripe, PayPal, or direct bank transfer.** Our hope is that we can once again have our costs covered fully by donations. I can't tell you how many times in the past year and change that I have been running this server that I have thought about giving up and moving off of the fediverse. Our mod team constantly has to deal with white supremacist harassment, transmisia, transmisogynoir, ableism, etc from other users and instances. We are making it work, but I'd be lying if I said it was not taking a toll. And with fascism on the rise globally, things are only going to get worse in that department. So if you don't agree with that and want to help support us in maintaining a space on this network, any amount helps. Seriously. -eva @blackfedi@fedigroups.social #BlackMastodon #BlackFediverse #MutualAid #BlackFedi #BlackQueerLife #QTPOC
