Small instances probably aren't for you. If that was my main concern, I'd stick to major servers with more than just a couple people running it.
Personally I'm here for the atmosphere. Feels like the old internet. And as someone who has been around for the entirety of the internet; sometimes shit doesn't work and you have to go do something else for a while.
Monthly recurring donation here. No ragrets.
I'm sorry but... no.
Look, I'm a child of the 70's, I know what shite internet feels like and I'm a patient man. Hell, half of the reason why I stick to SDF is exactly because I'm patient (the other half being because SDF defederates almost no other instances and I appreciate that).
But I'm running a BBS with 32 lines and quite a few users (yes, old-stylee, with modems) and also a few Echolink repeaters for hams, and I provide better service and better uptime than SDF most of the time. And it's just me, myself and I with little time to spare after work.
I'm glad you're satisfied with SDF. My bar is a bit higher than yours apparently, yet goodness knows I'm not demanding...
