       @cliffwade It's a way to support the development of Mastodon.

       @Gargron While I understand supporting the platform, those prices are just absurd. I actually felt the plushies were very well priced, which I own three of(one big one and both colors of the smaller one). But $47 for a T-Shirt is crazy, especially considering you have to pay for shipping on top of that. I could shop at Louis Vuitton at those prices. Sorry if that sounds disrespectful. I just don't agree with those prices.

       @cliffwade Think of it this way: You could donate $47 to Mastodon instead and it wouldn't be a crazy amount, especially if it's a one-time donation. You just wouldn't get a t-shirt on top. Anyway, you don't have to buy it. But this is the only price I was allowed to make this anniversary merch at.

       @Gargron @cliffwade exactly, it's a donation and you get a free shirt, basically

       @thibaultmol @Gargron @cliffwadeA t-shirt is never free to produce and distribute, so I guess the real underlying question is: out of a 47$ t-shirt, how much does Mastodon get ? Out of a 47$ donation, how much does Mastodon get ?

       @rakoo @thibaultmol @cliffwade That money is already spent either way since we made them.

       @Gargron @cliffwade Exactly. On a pretty regular basis I buy $50 t-shirts from orgs I support.
