TafkakSay a prayer for your server admins tonight. Mastodon is getting crushed right now as the feeling on Bird site seems to be similar to the fall of Saigon. I’ll definitely be chipping in to help fund this great community. $8 to start.
Zorro Notorious MEB@tafkak Where's the link? I'm on two servers - are the links by server?
@znmeb Revising what I said. There are likely ways to donate to individuals instances . But https://www.patreon.com/mastodon seems to be a way to support the overall project of mastodon

Arclight@tafkak I feel better that I donated for a year just a few days ago.

Karoli@tafkak I kind of decided that was the problem. They're doing such a good job keeping up with all of us trading a dead bird in for a kind Mastodon. We will be patient. Hang in there, fellow mastos! (Is it true that I'm really saying, "Hang in there, fellow boobs?")🤷🏼♀️
Hugh Ferguson@tafkak and to think that $8 was Musks idea too.
Laura Kosloff@tafkak And many admins may be sleeping depending on where they are located. Just think about how much it would be to wake up to this.
Doug A.@tafkak The fall of Saigon seems to be a perfect analogy.
Photon Empress 🌸@tafkak ha ha ha, $8.00 is brilliant!

Maple.Dipped.Horns@tafkak I pray a good coding for the purple coders tonight
Tammy Makes ThingsI wouldn’t have given $8 to Elon if my life depended on it, but I just pledged $8 a month on Patreon to support my server. Why?
1. I know Mastodon is federated/decentralized, which means the only way to create the kind of space we want here is for each of us to do our part.
2. There are some in our culture who won’t believe we value something until we’re willing to pay for it. That I’d pay $8 for this & not Twitter says something about what’s important to me.
How about everyone else?
duncande150@tafkak I’d have given Elon 8 bucks a month if he’d asked nicely.. but you know…
Just arrived from bird land. Please show me how to tip those server admins keeping things humming here.
Krazy Thee Alaskan@tafkak my server has crashed already. I assume this will be like the last round and take afrw days to mellow out again.
Matthew@tafkak I hear that, I'm having to repeat some of my photo uploads that are failing. We might have to pitch in and donate some support to help upgrade the server.
The Bear (Stephen Rodda)@tafkak I did the same, but in Euro.

@tafkak I already subscribed to the patreon for this server at $3/mo for exactly that reason!
YowieJust new here. How do we donate?
@Yowie9644 @tafkak It depends on the incidence you are in. Best to check your server's home feed.
@TrendyKittyKat @tafkak How do I do that? I used to be tech savvy but now feel like a middle aged woman bamboozzled by modern tech.
@Yowie9644 your instance apoears too be mastadon.au? So go to the home page for that and see if they have any info on how you can contribute.
@TrendyKittyKat thankyou! Its so kind and helpful here.
Texas Clint@tafkak so true. The bird was just hunted by an angry billionaire!
Kathy in KY@tafkak wow, you’re right. Sounds a bit apocalyptic, at least from the outside
ZachAuthor@tafkak A little extreme... the fall of Saigon cost people their actual lives. But yes, funding this community, great idea.
Greg Stephenson@tafkak hi, I just moved here, how do I go about subscribing to my local admins?
Flashious Lemon@tafkak I just signed up. I had never heard of the fediverse and mastodon before this. Wish I had! It's a relief not to see Elon Musk's Dank Memes in my timeline
Liz O'Neill@tafkak how do we contribute?
Cate@tafkak
Please explain how we contribute to our server admin!
