I am immensely grateful to @Gargron for creating Mastodon, for his careful stewardship and leadership, and for keeping this server going. The least I could do is contribute to the Mastodon Patreon as a member. You can/should, too: https://www.patreon.com/mastodon

@jeffjarvis @Gargron contributing to Mastodon is different from contributing to a server, is that correct? Which should people choose if they can't afford both?
@aristeon @jeffjarvis @Gargron yes, that is the patreon for the development of mastodon, and is seperate from specific servers. that patreon does help to upkeep the mastodon.social server, however.
