@retrospring Awh, that's sad to hear, but having you collapse under Retrospring's weight isn't worth it.

While I haven't really used it myself, I know a bunch of people who did (and still do), so I want to thank you for everything you've done neocat_heart

@iacore The project is too large for the amount of maintainers it has

The flagship (and currently only) instance has 175k users

With us having full-time jobs and also being kinda burnt out on the project after 10 years, it's not really about financing to keep it alive

@retrospring as a sysadmin, i understand how it feels. Sometimes the growth can be too much to handle. Having to downscale or even stop providing a service is better than keeping up with the growth sometimes. Thank you for providing this service.

@retrospring@floss.social :'(
this is sad to hear, but it would be worse to burn yourself out for it. thanks for everything you've done so far!
