Would anyone here be able to ballpark what it costs to host this website per month now that the Voat migration is over?

Just curious. Former Voater here. The owners of that site kept on saying it is very expensive to host that site and then shut it down because the costs were too high.

It would be intersting to know. I assume this board is natively on Linux ?

By the way, thank you for posting your free speech policies. That helps really judge the value of this site. I will be setting up a monthly donation shortly.

I agree with that - the only way to not be known is to not use...I get it. Maybe there will be a day we all smash the black mirrors and live without....but not today.

I was just curious if Poal was originally aimed as a free speech platform with the subtle intention for making money...or if they were okay with being non-profit, or what the goal on the financial side was for the creators... eitherway, been okay so far. Lol
