@kingrat Fixed! Thank you very much for letting me know.

Dear #SFBA Community,

we are very grateful for each one of you, making this is a truly social and very nice online space that also stays connected to the IRL Yay Area.

Unfortunately, our financial host (OCF) on OpenCollective shut down, which led to a loss of some of our subscriptions. So we have to rebuild our monthly recurring donations.

You can find the cost structure of SFBA in our quarterly report here: https://hub.sfba.social/2024/05/30/transparency-report-q1-2024/

TLDR: We need more donations to get back to a sustainable and stable financial state.

If you enjoy SFBA and can afford it, please consider contributing financially through our crowdfunding service Ko-Fi here: https://ko-fi.com/sfba_fedi

Thank you all for being Awesome ❤️

We are thinking hard about the non-profit we want to start to fund #sfba services. (After OCF’s shutdown announcement this has become our number one priority.)

If you know of online communities that run such a model successfully, please give us a hint!

If you have ideas about things to consider when planning non-profit memberships, governance, votings, etc. please tell!

We want to keep overhead low, so we can focus on our community and don’t get buried in bureaucracy. We want to continue focusing on the San Francisco Bay Area.

Listened to the first episode of the new Decentered podcast - Good stuff! Also a great name for a podcast documenting a paradigm shift. #fediverse

Dear #SFBA Community!

We are going to have a gathering at Crane Cove Park this Sunday (8/20) starting around 11am.

It will be potluck style - Bring whatever you'd like to share!

Some of our SFBA team members will also be present. Shout-out to @brennansv for the idea and willingness to also bring some food and music!

Let's put the SOCIAL back into social network!
