Thank you for keeping this place great. Things I’ve noticed:

• 2 million unique and new users over a 1 month period is still great.
• The bots as scrapers: I do use the ddg AI for searching hard to get info sometimes. I checked for something, I can’t remember what, to get more sources, and nothing came up. Someone responded to me with a great, thorough answer. I went back to check on a hunch, and that answer from Lemmy showed up as an answer. I was pretty impressed and kind of pissed. We’re AI basically.

Regardless of how much we raise, I’m committed to keeping SJW running. I will continue looking for suitable replacement hardware and am prepared to personally contribute toward any shortfall required to support the next generation of our infrastructure.

Again, thank you.
