Hello envs lovers,

Due to current events, I would like to inform you that the envs.net project is urgently seeking donations. Unfortunately, for years we have had a rather large deficit between server costs and the donations collected (approximately 1/4 of the costs). I have to cover this deficit out of my own pocket, which is becoming increasingly difficult for me. For this reason, I have decided to launch one last appeal for donations to keep the project fully alive. However, if we still do not reach our donation goal within the next two months, I will unfortunately be forced to shut down the server “srv01.envs.net.” This would affect the services Matrix, Pleroma, mx2, and ns2.

Many thanks to envs donors, supporters, mods and members at this point. I really appreciate your work and support!

If you have the opportunity, I would be very happy about your support. Many thanks 🙏
