Mastodon does not accept advertising money and accounts are free to users. Several people have told me in the past day or two that they are not going to pay $8 to Musk, but they'd like to help out instance administrators with their costs. Democracy.town's admin is @TonyStark, who, unlike the fictional one, is a regular guy and not a billionaire. If you want to contribute, here are the ways you can do so for democracy.town. (Look at the "about this server" for your instance if you are on a different one.)Costs are $640/month to run our democracy.town and are paid for primarily by Tony with contributions from a group of us who value having our instance. You can contribute monthly or one time. Patreon lets you contribute as little as $1 and the "coffee" costs $5 or $3 (depending which site you choose).https://www.buymeacoffee.com/democracy.townhttps://www.patreon.com/democracytown/postshttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/democracytownhttps://ko-fi.com/democracytown

@MariaHill And, if you’re going to live here, help out with the messaging or it might be better if you live elsewhere. I am not going to repeat that any more times.

@JoannaBee No idea but we've had to explain it to a lot of people and suspend/limit a number of accounts.@TonyStark

@SteveRogers @MariaHill @JoannaBee @TonyStark I’m still on the Bird and answering a lot of questions about Mast. Many people think one instance is the entire Fediverse and are a free for all topics, unlimited funds entities. I describe it like a Bird discussion/issue room you are invited to but can be removed from. I do mention D.town may be limiting new members to numbers. Just FYI. Best of luck! ☕️🙂

@SteveRogers @GlennGriffin8 @MariaHill @JoannaBee The timing is really awful, with just a short time before the elections. Pretty much everyone here is really busy getting out the vote on top of work, family, and general life responsibilities.You’d think someone made this huge distraction on purpose. Anyway, anyone interested can read our timeline before signing up. Lots of material is already out there about what Mastodon and the Fediverse are. There’s really no need to reinvent the wheel there. It’s not Twitter and nobody responsible for creating and maintaining it wants it to be. This is really a community I’ve maintained for friends at this point. Friends are welcome to join and ask to. Most other people, we will need to get to know first. My time on social media is much more limited now than it was 3, 4, 5, 6 years ago, purposefully. The stuff I do offline has a lot more impact on the vote and other causes.

@JoannaBee @GlennGriffin8 @SteveRogers @GreenFire @MariaHill Thanks, KB. I’ve enjoyed getting to know you here. I appreciate you sticking around and helping us out. I try to boost you when I can and know I can always do better on that.I’ve been able to arrange it so I have minimal work to do for the next 3 days. That will help. Still have a daughter, a dog, and a cat. They don’t wait.

@TonyStark @JoannaBee @GlennGriffin8 @SteveRogers @MariaHill You've been great and certainly nothing to apologise for.I'm an old twitter hand, so for me this is easy to get the interaction I'm looking for now that more of my old friends are now here, but I'll try to mainly focus on boosting some of the newer climate accounts here to help them feel welcome and that it can be a useful platform.
