We'll go through our history and reasons in detail, how everything will unfold during the shutdown

|
Hello everyone! Thanks for all of the feedback these past few
|
||||||
</p>
|
days. I've been talking with
|
||||||
|
people who are more experienced in these subjects. In a
|
||||||
|
nutshell: mint.lgbt is <b>NOT</b> shutting down.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h3><u>Why</u></h3>
|
<p>
|
||||||
<p>
|
First, I want to apologize for taking things to this point. I
|
||||||
We started back in July of 2020, when I bought the domain to start my own personal website.
|
should've evaluated this situation with deeper care, to
|
||||||
I rented a very inexpensive VPS to host everything I needed. At the time I also needed to host some
|
ensure whether this was the right path for the future or not.
|
||||||
additional services side-by-side. The first one was Femgit, which has become the longest running
|
I'll be frankly honest, right now I'm not in the best of places
|
||||||
service in the suite. After looking back at the server load, I noticed much of the VPS was going
|
financially. For a long time I thought of selling the domain as
|
||||||
unused, with little to no plans on adding more services on top of the existing ones. With this in mind,
|
my last resort to get cash quick in cases like this. It turns
|
||||||
I decided to open up registrations on Femgit. This gave me a bigger idea: What if that was the entire
|
out, I was wrong. The domain holds little to no monetary value,
|
||||||
focus of the site?
|
because it simply isn't commercial. And while it's true that the
|
||||||
</p>
|
project is financially taxing, I've found a potential future
|
||||||
|
path that will keep the project running exactly the same if not
|
||||||
|
better, and solves our financial struggles from running it.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
<p>
|
||||||
Considering the TLD I had chosen, I determined, if this was to be the future for the website, it would
|
We've moved already part of our infrastructure
|
||||||
be to satisfy the necessities of LGBTQIA+ folk. Considering how, even to this day, queer rights are
|
away from our main VPS, which has been the single biggest cost
|
||||||
not universally respected, privacy can be used as a huge tool for defense. Therefore, this was the focus
|
throughout the entire project's history, and into several
|
||||||

|
of our homeservers. For instance, our Matrix and XMPP servers
|
||||||
</p>
|
are running in my home, a few meters away from where I'm typing
|
||||||
|
this
|
||||||
|
announcement. The idea is to slightly bump the specs on my
|
||||||
|
homeserver
|
||||||
|
in order to move every remaining service away from our VPS and
|
||||||
|
into it. The only exception is email, which will have to be
|
||||||
|
moved to a separate VPS. However, we'll be moving away from our
|
||||||
|
current email server, and into <a
|
||||||
|
href="https://stalw.art/">Stalwart</a>, which has proven
|
||||||
|
to be pretty well optimized from my testing.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
<p>
|
||||||
I caved in, and moved my own personal website to a subdomain, while rebranding the main website. Luna,
|
This, in total, reduces our yearly operating costs from $194
|
||||||
who I worked with on a previous project joined in, and ever since then we've been running the website

|
||||||
money, and we both had rather free schedules due to the high schools not being too demanding, and the
|
</p>
|
||||||
COVID-19 pandemic. The project was also welcomed in my family, helping me fund it occasionally.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
<p>
|
||||||
However, we're not living under the same scenarios nowadays. I'm now a college student, working with a
|
I'd like to give special thanks to <a
|
||||||
rather tight budget, where I'm way more limited in terms of my weekly budget. A lot of my time is spent
|
href="https://cadence.moe">Cadence</a>, who I
|
||||||
up studying, so I cannot continuously maintain the server. Luna cannot maintain it either, as she's not
|
extensively talked with in order to reach this conclusion. And
|
||||||
yet in a situation with stable income either.
|
thanks to everyone who has used and participated in the project.
|
||||||
</p>
|
It means a lot to me that people are interested in what I do.
|
||||||
|
I'm looking forward to keep running mint.lgbt with y'all. And if
|
||||||
|
y'all wanna help run the project, you're more than welcome! Just
|
||||||
|

We technically could ask for donations more frequently, but that would still be essentially feeding

cash into an unsustainable project. Therefore, we determined it's best to end things here and now.

<h3><u>How</u></h3>
|
<tr>
|
||||||
<p>
|
<td colspan="3">
|
||||||
We'll run mint.lgbt for an additional 3 months. During this time period, users are advised to export their
|
<p>
|
||||||
data and move out to another alternative. In the next section, we provide some recommended alternatives.

<br>
|
||||||
After this time period passes, the main VPS will be removed, and every subdomain will be null-routed. The main
|
|
||||||
website will be replaced with a shutdown notice, and the domain will be put on sale. After it is purchased,
|
|
||||||
the domain will be transferred to the next domain owner, which means we'll no longer be affiliated to whatever
|
|
||||||
project starts in this exact domain. No databases will be transferred to anyone, as to protect them from being
|
|
||||||
potentially misused.

If you didn't get your data in time, don't worry! We'll hold onto the databases privately for a while. Keep in
|
<a href="https://corviform.gay">Ember</a>.
|
||||||
mind however that we can't recover data from Matrix or XMPP, since those services either store E2EE data, or
|
|
||||||
only store data for a short period of time, after which it gets wiped.

<h3><u>Where to Move</u></h3>
|
<br>
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Here are some service providers we highly recommend, which share a lot of common philosophy with our
|
|
||||||
collective.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<li><a href="https://constellatory.net">Constellatory</a>. Hosts a Matrix homeserver, Invidious, and SearxNG. Great infrastructure</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><a href="https://besties.house">besties</a>. Another collective similar to ours. Offers a Git forge, file sharing, DNS lookup, and a Mastodon instance</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><a href="http://knotsinside.me/">knotsinside.me</a>. Offers XMPP. Has a very... um... interesting domain name. If that's ok with you, then check it out!</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><a href="https://info.snug.moe">snug.moe</a>. Offers XMPP, but with a simpler domain name. Also has Peertube, Matrix (invite-only), and Iceshrimp instances</li>
|
|
||||||
<li><a href="https://pussthecat.org">PussTheCat.org</a>. Has a lot of private frontends!</li>
