       Mastodon is financed by crowdfunding instead of venture capital not because we don't know that venture capital exists, not because we don't have bills to pay, and not because venture capital isn't willing to give money to new social media platforms. VCs don't want a sustainable business, they want a big exit. Every VC-backed business is on a timer to deliver or die.

       @Gargron please do some kind of public conversation with @evan and @mmasnick.bsky.social and @jay.bsky.team. I hate that people go there thinking they'll get all the same benefits of decentralization and public interest development in either place. there's a trade-off in design and easy money for a reason.

       @GargronYou won't see this message because the people who pull your strings as an investor would have told you to silence me.They control you, they control your software, and you don't even get the benefits of VC-backingBig winner right here.

       @r000t @Gargron you invite money, you relinquish control. the money stops the moment you don't fall in line even with crowdfunding

       Side note, if you'd like us to help pay our bills for the 5 full-time employees and a number of freelancers we currently have working on developing Mastodon and bringing you new features, and potentially grow the team to do so even faster, there is a number of ways you can do so outlined on this page: https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors

       @Gargron What I want most most most is just the ability to post more than 500 chars at a time. Just make this something customizable by an admin! Pweeeez! I am too verbose for only 500 chars most of the time! 😅Edit: I'm aware of glitch-soc. I'm on a managed, vanilla-masto instance 😭

       @shellsharks I suggest Pleroma or GNU social to join the free Fediverse, free of antifeatures like a very low character limit.
