HN believes this comment is spam and I cannot reply to it:

So I'll reply here instead.

> This is somewhat off topic, but I'm wondering if you've considered offering a pre-paid lifetime plan. sr.ht looks great, and I've considered moving my project over from github, but the thing holding me back is that I don't want the obligation to maintain a subscription into perpetuity. Github's killer feature isn't that it's free, but rather, that I can get hit by a bus (or just become busy with other things in life), and my project will remain hosted indefinitely.

There are currently minimal penalties for non-payment, and in the future, they will remain conservative. We will place your account into a read-only mode after a grace period, but will not remove data without consulting you first. We are people first, free software second, and a business third. We would be honored to set profit aside in the interest of maintaining our users' legacies after they're gone.

Thanks for the reply. I guess the combination of a new account, a link, and talk about plans and payments was enough to set off HN's spam filter.
