Oddbean new post about login | logout Operating •and• developing Mastodon on this budget is nothing short of amazing. It’s also unsustainable and we should make sure we don’t just pay for our third party Mastodon clients but donate to the core project. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/10/annual-report-2022 https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/171/022/085/426/823/original/e3f2f818693e355c.png
@e00c5240 I had to click around a bit to find the donate page, so I've linked it here. https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors
@e00c5240 I would feel better if half the money spent on these subscription clients when to Mastodon. I wouldn't feel so ripped off my subscription software.
@e00c5240 what is a "third party Mastodon client" here on the Mastodon Network we do not acknowledge other clients (you can't see this)
@e00c5240 we need a decentralized donation system that we can tie into all these services. small donations from millions of people to FOSS developers and open access content creators will change the world.
