EDIT: DO NOT BOOST!

This post is nearly a year old, and boosting will simply spread misinformation. Mastodon now has substantially more funding, and has enough scale to handle its many users.

I would delete this post but my server is not letting me so I'm editing this to reflect that I wish for you to NOT BOOST!

---
Right now Mastodon is only receiving appr. $21,000/month through Patreon.

This is not enough to handle the 1 million new accounts that will be made this week.

Currently, only 4,720 patrons are donating to Mastodon.

However, if everyone chips in $2/month, this will ensure the continued survival of Mastodon!

Be a hero! Donate now! https://www.patreon.com/mastodon

@opal Read my other posts. I've already been telling people to spread out. Nevertheless, Mastodon needs more funding.

@atomicpoet i can't read your posts when you fucking decide to block me, dumbass. and no, eugen does not need funding.

@atomicpoet all i gather from this thread is that you're awful at communicating your intents. everyone was confused by what you said. you made a mistake, own up to it instead of getting pissed at everyone else.

@opal @atomicpoet this employs the developers who work on the core software plus two of the instances
