I'm somewhat disappointed that only 112 people out of 22,000+ have chosen to setup a recurring donation to our instance. It only costs a coffee.
Cliquez ici pour le français I'll start off with this: It's been one hell of a month for Mastodon Canada. Introduction The instance grew from less than 60 users to what is now 24 500 users in the span of just two weeks. It went from an experiment to a

#CoffeeDonation FTW! There are two things to consider: 1) your local instance. A donation to them should go towards server costs and maintenance. 2) the developers to make Mastodon (or whatever Fediverse platform you are using). Both need your support, and it doesn't have to be a lot. I don't know about your instance, but my instance admin openly shares a breakdown of the costs, and, currently, it wouldn't take too many regular medium-coffee-level 1/
For those who haven't noticed, I really want to get #CoffeeDonation trending, because it's important that we support (a) our local servers and (b) the devs who make this all possible. If you've ever bought a coffee for a friend, you can do this!

1) Support your local server. Setup a monthly #CoffeeDonation to support the costs of running your local instance. See https://mstdn.ca/about for the donation link.
2) Support the development of Mastodon itself by setting up another #CoffeeDonation. Mastodon has a Patreon account for this: https://patreon.com/mastodon

In addition to supporting my #LocalServer, I've also setup a monthly #CoffeeDonation to the #Mastodon project itself. Free and open-source doesn't pay for itself, the developers need our support, and if we all just donate a medium coffee's worth a month, it would be enough to keep this project alive in perpetuity. I'd rather see my #CoffeeDonation go to #FOSS projects than a billionaire's pocket. Help us #ReachCriticalMass it only costs a #Coffee
