@deejoe @bobjonkman @bob Happy to be of assistance there.

Part of why Evan P was funding #Identi.ca & #StatusNet mostly out of his own pocket was that he formerly had a VC-funded enterprise behind it, but advertising revenues were weak and users demanded its removal. There were some commercial customers and some individuals that paid, but probably not nearly enough.
He had looked at some #OStatus protocol enhancements that could have improved federation and reduced cost, but many of the component protocols were sponsored by companies like #Google, which was no longer interested in them.
