A heads up to #India folks, this is not bird app, this is open source so each of the different instances you are in, there is someone else working for you to get this experience. I see lot of you asking for features and moderators, it’s pretty entitled I feel, they are funded by donation so pls try to donate to different instances you are in: for the number of folks we have brought in even if each of us pay 100 rupees, it will make huge difference . I will get information where we can donate

Most users got home at either mastodon.social or mstdn.social

So monetise contribution to these instances first.

Despite, mastodon.social is well funded but recent surge of new users must cost them resource.

It is advised new users to contribute to their respective home instance.

For donating to #Mastodon software development can be done later pace as instances requires financial support than development

@noorul @Deepsealioness @milcom how do you contribute to mastodon.social instance infrastructure ?
Show threadNoorulNov 9, 2019

I don't.

I am running an other instance which is quey.org.

Though, I am seeing a few making donation now.

Have you donated yet ?

@ravichso @noorul how did you pay?(mode of payment) @ravichso ? Is $10 the standard rate?
Show threadS RavichandranNov 9, 2019
@CharismaticSal_ @noorul paid using credit card on patreon
Show threadNoorulNov 9, 2019

Credit cards are fine.
Debit cards are pain.

Top private sector, ICICI, Axis bak, HDFC debit card, & SBI debit cards work fine for me.

Indian overseas, Indian bank, similar cards failing.

@noorul @ravichso that means SBI debit card works. What about net banking?
Show threadNoorulNov 9, 2019

Actually, I've not checked out myself.

As far I seen now, once you login into patreon.com, you are given credit/debit card & paypal.com option.

in order use SBI card, it need to be Visa/Mastercard international and need to enable international transaction.

Enable transaction with SBI debit card is possible with sending sms or via Internet banking.

---

With choosing Paypal option, you MAY show Internet banking to pay. (This is I am not checked yet)

@noorul @CharismaticSal_ debit cards should work . Not internet banking .
Show threadNoorulNov 9, 2019

Like I mention before, not all debit card work for internationally.

#RBI restrict.

stupidly, there is even 2 system. When enabling International transaction for debit card, 1st they enable international ATM transactions, than need to request for international P.O.S (point of sale) again with some banks.

@noorul @ravichso I think someone who has the access to international transaction can collect the fund and he or she pays the collected amount to the concerned website. But then, if the amount is high then tax thing comes.🤔
Show threadNoorul

This concern to me earlier but not sure whom to turn to.

that someone need not be single person. May be a group of volunteers.

I don't know much of taxation. actually.
