Hi everyone. Same username as Voat.

I never knew about this place so I'm glad to find it. I'm especially happy to see LockeProposal and his HistoryAnecdotes sub here. Are they called subs here? I used to contribute to that until he left Voat.

Who runs Phuks? Is it a struggling hobby site like Voat? How does it get funded?

Not digging the Captcha but good to see that it goes away eventually.

Hey, welcome. most of the same stuff, "subs" is the standard name.

I'm one of several admins. We are just a hobby site and fully self funded and governed by our users. We chose to not use any trackers, ads, or sponsored posts. Leveling up unlocks stuff, like owning subs, removing the captcha. Our hosting currently runs under $40/month.

edit: damn he's fast

Thank you!

under $40/month

How is that possible?!? Holy cow!

What's the backend? Please say Linux/MySQL.

yup, Linux, Python3, mysql and mariadb tested working, and we have multiple app servers. We designed the site to be super stripped down and as fast as we could make it. No external js/jquery, no trackers or ads, lots of cache.

Extremely low volume. Next month won't be so cheap, I'm guessing. :-/
