I dont think there's any reason to still have this issue open? we're fighting with ghosts, the platform has so much to still implement atm
there are also the lifetime users (25 last time i checked) who paid 300 usd, they've supported the platform in one go equivalent to 1500 users subscribing for plutonium in a month, those are the people that believe wholeheartedly on the project, and the presented suggestion would instantly signal that the platform will disrespect them to cater to general users
hampus has stated that if he finds a way to sustain the development and the free instances plutonium will be removed. it only exists to create as little friction as possible, alternatives may arise for monetization but you can already self host it if that's your tea!
i want to believe more in the developer that has had the dedication of 5 years to privately dev this slowly and that has fount a way to monetize this and make the platform sustainable than someone that came here to assume how things work and presented their methods as the better ones without sustainable insight on the project
id recommend reading his views on https://www.producthunt.com/products/fluxer?embed=true and on the main fluxer server he's really cool and has INSANE dedication
the response above was a bit hostile for my liking (though if not for the phrasing i do agree), but growth comes with a search of understanding, this is not a multi million company like discord, this is just: guy (a really competent one!)
if you dont like how stuff works you can always contribute! but i understand that saying that is frustrating for a general user, but i hope you understand why dropping suggestions that are worded as if you knew better than the people close to this project has had to even keep this thing going has been meet with hostility
at the moment it isnt realistic, but it is working to be sustainable to not need plutonium in the future
