PLEASE BOOST: Right now Mastodon is only receiving appr. $21,000/month through Patreon.This is not enough to handle the 1 million new accounts that will be made this week.Currently, only 4,720 patrons are donating to Mastodon.However, if everyone chips in $2/month, this will ensure the continued survival of Mastodon!Be a hero! Donate now! https://www.patreon.com/mastodon

@atomicpoet "Mastodon is only receiving" 🤦♂️you likely know this but to ex-Twitter users this might be misleading ... none of the mastodon servers, beside the two(?) slow ones with too many users -run by Eugen -get any share of this money.Don't contribute to "Mastodon Patreon", only to support development, but that's not urgent right now.Send the money to your instance's admin so they don't have to pay it out of pocket. These servers are expensive to run.

@piggo Once again, donations are not just for running instances. They're for the NON-PROFIT that continues to develop Mastodon.When the NON-PROFIT receives funding, everyone who runs their own Mastodon instance benefits.

@atomicpoet Unless you know something I don't .... the money goes to eugen's pocket, for the project's PR, to run his pet servers, and maybe to pay moderators of the two servers. Nothing goes to the hundreds of open source contributors of the project, and especially nothing goes to people actually running this stuff who are most hurt by this twitter shitshow

@Rairii I'm not being sarcastic. Mastodon is a non-profit, and doesn't currently have the resources to replace potentially 100,000,000s of Twitter migrants. It needs funding, new staff, and moderation for the instances that it runs.

@Rairii @atomicpoet Yes, please don't advocate donating to mastodon unless (I guess) someone is actually on mastodon.social. Which they shouldn't be. Funneling all the donations there so the biggest instance can just get bigger is just creating another centralized platform. There are other software projects that are just as much a part of the fediverse and lots of smaller instances running the software that could all use donations much more than mastodon. This would also help spread out the load so handling the influx of users would be more easily done.

@atomicpoet I can't even begin to describe what's wrong with this post.Mastodon development, the recipient of the $21,000, is nothing at all to do with the "1 million new accounts"Paying money into Gargamel's Patreon just puts money into Gargamel's pocket.Admins and site owners are largely members of marginalised communities. THEY are who you should be directing your support to.DO NOT PAY MONEY TO MASTODON ON PATRIONPAY MONEY TO YOUR LOCAL ADMIN

@atomicpoet This number is a bit disingenous tho. Yes, sure, 21k per month on Patreon, but if you read through their about section, they immediately mention that corporate sponsors can donate through their own system. And on their website they list 29 sponsors that have the Platinum Tier which is at 500$ per month.This means that in addition to the 21 000$ from Patreon they recieve a minimum of 14 500$ from corporate sponsors.Now, that's not even all of them, there's also the Gold Tier sponsors which are listed on the sponsors page. The Platinum sponsors are duplicated here, but subtracting those leaves us with 19 Gold Tier sponsors which adds an additional 3 800$.There's also an additional 4 sponsors on the Rosegold Tier, but it doesn't say what the price is for that, so I won't speculate or count it.The total adds up to 39 300$.Mastodon has 4 employees according to the website and afaik, does not pay contributors. Without factoring in server costs, this would be a salary of 117 900$ per year for each of them if the pay is evenly distributed. But it's highly unlikely to be evenly distributed as I doubt all four of them work 100% at this project (that's speculation on my part tho)When people say they take issue with you pushing people to donate to Mastodon, this is why. Because they're already making a decent amount of money and could've saved lots of money by downscaling their own instances and push stronger towards distributing people to other instances. And when you do that, those other instances will get increased costs and strain and require money to fund that. People don't want to support Mastodon becausethey are centralising power towards their instances, which is antiethical to the federated nature of the fediverseMastodon is not the only fedi software, it's just the one that somehow became synonymous with fedi when that's just damaging the decentralisationMastodon is already gaining lots of attention and will gain a lot of supporters. You don't need to remind them of this. What needs to be reminded is to donate to the ones that aren't being heavily promoted right now.Mastodon is Free Software which means that even if Eugen stops working on it, someone else can fork it and pick it up. A popular fork of Mastodon is the glitch-soc fork for instance, which has contributed a lot to upstream Mastodon.Pushing hard towards Mastodon is not good for the overall health of the fediverse. By fortifying Mastodon, you're giving them more power over the overall implementation of the spec. Centralisation of power is bad.Other fedi projects don't even have any way to donate to them. Pleroma has nowhere that I could find to donate, nor does glitch-soc. This builds upon my previous argument and was not meant as an argument on its own.I'm not saying no one should donate to Mastodon. I'm saying that the presentation of this is very much like "look how little money they're making, we need to do more!" when, if they decided to push towards actual decentralisation, it wouldn't really be all that little money. There is no "ensure the continued survival of Mastodon". Mastodon will live on even if no one else donates. They'd just have to consider reducing their servers, which is overall a good thing for the network.

@atomicpoet Also, for many it is actually a matter of either or. I don't have much money to donate. I have donated to my instance in the past. I cannot afford to also donate directly to Mastodon. It's significantly better to donate to your instance host than it is to donate to Mastodon.

@atomicpoet that's not what I meant either. I was trying to explain why a lot of the replies you've been getting have been asking if you're joking or smth. Mastodon isn't in a huge need of money. They are in huge need of decentralising by promoting other instances.

@atomicpoet I'm opposed to donating to Mastodon, not because I don't think they deserve to be paid for their work, but because that money goes towards centralising power, which is the opposite of what we want in a decentralised network.

This is a basic misunderstanding of what #Mastodon is. #Mastodon is just the software, it’s the servers (instances) that are handling the new accounts.If your goal is to fund the infrastructure hosting the users, you should be donating to the instances that are struggling the most, not to the people making the software.

To everyone upset that I'm suggesting people DONATE to Mastodon, which is a NON-PROFIT, you can read for yourselves what this funds: the continued development of Mastodon.That is to say, everyone who runs and maintains a Mastodon instance benefits.I make no apologies for urging people to donate. This isn't a zero sum game where if someone donates to one cause, they cannot donate to another. Yes, let's spread the wealth around.But also, let's DONATE to ensure the continued survival of Mastodon because I'm really sure we'd all like it if Mastodon continues to function.

By the way, I'm now actively blocking anyone coming here to argue about the merits of donating to the NON-PROFIT that builds Mastodon.It's absolute dirtbag behaviour when Mastodon struggles so much under a #TwitterMigration of millions of users. Now lets put things into perspective. Last month, Twitter was employing 6,500 people. Mastodon employs 1 person who's working 14 hour days -- and only compensates himself €36,000 a year.How is one guy supposed to take build the app that replaces Twitter when Twitter pays hundreds of engineers well over $100,000 to do a fraction of the work?Yeah, other people deserve donations too -- so donate! Be a hero to the person who's running your instance, as well as the person who builds whatever app your instance is running.And lest you think that I don't bang the drums on donations for other devs, this is not the case.Last week, I told everyone to donate to @dansup. A couple of days ago, I told everyone to donate to @Are0h who, by the way, is making another app that builds safety features for marginalized communities. And I'm banging the drum all the time on @thatonecalculator@stop.voring.me and his work with Calckey.But right now, I'm urging people to help out with Mastodon!So if you have it in your heart to donate to a very good cause -- the continued development and existence of Mastodon -- contribute to Mastodon's Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/mastodon

Someone asks a fair question: How does donating to Mastodon help every other instance?It means continued funding of Mastodon's app development. Every instance -- which is most of them -- benefits from this. For example, Mastodon recently added the ability to edit your posts. And not just edit them, allow you to view logs of the edits! This was a paid feature on Twitter, but it's now FREE on Mastodon.Every instance that updates to Mastodon v4.0 now has the edit feature. Thus everyone who's on an instance that runs Mastodon v4.0 can edit their posts. There's a lot of additional work Mastodon needs, and this is why donating to the non-profit helps!

Usually, unless you are MicroSoft. :)Not sure what the differences are as this is my first soapbox instance. Overall I really like it and the install was much easier than Mastodon which I tried first and eventually gave up and just used Cloudron. But I've followed Alex for a while and decided to try and install Soapbox on a box in my office and it ... just worked and I've been hooked ever since. I was impressed on how easily it just installed and it just works. The interface is nice and clean and it defaults to 5000 characters.

@jonporobil @atomicpoetJon, there are 2 parts to this.1: the non-profit organization developing the Mastodon software.2: the server admin hosting and maintaining the mastodon instance you are registered on.Both are non-profit and rely on donations to do their respective part.

Pat yourselves on the back -- we're all contributing to a better Fediverse.Because other people ask how donating helps, I will re-iterate:1. It helps the continued development of Mastodon itself. Continued developments benefit every instance that runs Mastodon.2. It helps the continued maintenance of instances run by Mastodon, who are among the largest instances on the Fediverse. Both these instances provide stress testing smaller instance as they grow.Now of course, donate to your local instance too. I've mentioned this already: it's actually the first reply to the original post.All this said, today I've spent a large portion of time blocking MAGA alt-right orcs, concern trolls, and people who generally don't read threads but like to argue anyway. Apparently, many folks get hot under the collar when you actually *make* a positive change in the world.Nevertheless, donating whatever is in your heart to give takes guts and courage -- even if the stakes are a couple of dollars a month.So pat yourselves on the back. You've done a good deed!

@atomicpoet generally, I appreciate your intention but it's such a waste to not reference a certain 8€ price tag and a checkmark here

@atomicpoet TBF i'm pretty sure most of that goes towards developing the software, not towards running the majority of the network (save for two instances), which is run by individuals and groups running federated servers

@martinsteiger@chaos.social @atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org among the devs i assume. instance admins wont see a dime of it, so you'd be the better hero if you donate to your local admins since they are the ones that are running the nodes

@atomicpoet @Rairii But it doesn't run, nor should it run, most of the instances. Communities should fund instances, sure, but let's not recentralize.

@anseljh @atomicpoet @Rairii but all instances run Mastodon.I'd love to see a split between donations to that specific instance and donations to development. Anyone benefits from improvements to the software. And donating to one thing doesn't exclude donating to the other thing. I donate to both the development, the instance I'm using, and other open source projects.

@atomicpoet > This is not enough to handle the 1 million new accounts that will be made this week... on the instances run by the core team, or on Mastodon servers as a whole?

@atomicpoet F-E-D-E-R-A-T-EIt's a very bad idea to let that instance grow so much.
