@atomicpoet @Rairii But it doesn't run, nor should it run, most of the instances. Communities should fund instances, sure, but let's not recentralize.
@anseljh @atomicpoet @Rairii but all instances run Mastodon.
I'd love to see a split between donations to that specific instance and donations to development.
Anyone benefits from improvements to the software.
And donating to one thing doesn't exclude donating to the other thing. I donate to both the development, the instance I'm using, and other open source projects.
