"What can people do to help Mastodon if they like your ideas?

I would say contribute to the Patreon for the server that your account is on. These people who are running servers, they're making it happen, and it's them who should be receiving people's support."

@willknight Would it be possible to amend the fediverse explanation to mention fediverse is a network of different servers running often a different software, not just Mastodon? It's quite an important distinction. There's a bigger story than Eugen vs Elon, but cetralized closed vs open ecosystem of services.

Reminder to folks that they can donate to mastodon via
https://patreon.com/mastodon

We're so conditioned to using social media and other services without explicitly paying.
