<h2 class="thin">You used to charge for hosting ebooks bots for people. Why make it free? Aren't you automating yourself out of a job?</h2>
<p>Yup! I'm making this free because I believe all software should be free, not just in cost, but in distributability, accessibility, and so on. mstdn-ebooks is also free software. I used to provide free hosting for mstdn-ebooks bots, but stopped when it became too much for me to handle. In the end, I was running 108 ebooks bots! The worst moment was when I accidentally wiped all the configuration files for them and had to log in to all 108 accounts and re-authorise them all...</p>
<p>FediBooks should (fingers crossed!) require much less maintenance on my part. All I have to do is make sure the server is running, which it is at all times, and make the occasional change or update to reflect new needs. The real concern is my server, not me - let's hope it can handle all these bots!</p>
<p>FediBooks doesn't display ads. It doesn't have any subscription models, donation bonuses, or cryptocurrency mining JavaScript (as useless as that is). What it does have is a donation link at the bottom of the main page. If you have some money to spare and you want to donate, feel free to do so. Paying for the server will be a little tricky since I've just cut off my main source of income, but I should manage. Hopefully.</p>

<h2 class="thin">I'm concerned about my privacy. If FediBooks learns from my posts, doesn't that mean you have access to all my posts?</h2>
<p>By necessity, yes. FediBooks will have access to all of your <em>public</em> posts. Anything you've set to followers only will not be seen by FediBooks. However, if you delete a post, FediBooks will still have it stored in its database. This is because checking if every single post has been deleted is impractically slow, and your instance would soon tell FediBooks to stop making so many API requests.</p>
