Fund Nekotopia

Nekotopia is a not-for-profit, community-led technical platform focused on retro computing, networking, and infrastructure experimentation. Some tiers support the community directly. Others provide paid services that help fund the platform.

"Community shares freely. Contributors support generously. Operators pay for what they use."

📢 Tier Rebrand: We've renamed our tiers! Basic → Community, Plus → Contributor, Pro → Operator. Same great service, clearer naming.
