This is something that we've been meaning to post for a while. As the first attempt at posting some instance costs, this may not be complete or in a finalized format.
This covers costs for October 2024 approximately, as some services are billed partway through the month, and domain registration is annual.
$729.43 - Server and Storage on Digital Ocean
$28.09 - DeepL integration for automated translations
$7.74 - Mailgun for instance email delivery
$2.38 - Fastmail for instance email accounts
$4.76 - tech.lgbt domain registration ($57.16 for the year)
Total - $772.40

We have both a Patreon and Liberapay that we are very thankful to have covered server expenses since November 2022 when it became too expensive to maintain privately.
If you feel so compelled to help support the instance, you can utilize either of those for a subscription, or for a one-time payment.
If you are unable to support, please do not feel the need to do so. We're glad to have you here!
