PLEASE BOOST: Within a day of raising awareness about Mastodon's funding, we've moved the needle on Patreon in a big way

Some Comparisons:

* Yesterday, Mastodon was receiving $21,000/month
* Today, it's receiving $28,000/month -- that's an increase of $7,000!
* Yesterday, 4,720 patrons were donating to Mastodon
* Today, 6,968 patrons are donating to Mastodon

Let's continue this work. Donate, and get the word out!

(Oh, and if you can, send your instance some bux too.)

SIDE NOTE: It's also worth noting that yesterday, when I sent my initial message, mastodon.social was straining under the load, so I used my back-up instance to get the word out about donating.

Well, now my back-up instance is straining under the load because my post ended up being spread everywhere -- to the point that I can't even see my notifications!

So I'm back to mastodon.social to get the word out 😆
