@Mastodon Already stressed about trying to nab one of those awesome t-shirts!
@Mastodon Only 250 of each item?! That's not going to be enough. 😭
@malcolm @Mastodon yeah, this is going to sell out in a day 😅 better keep an eye on the launch announcements.
@Mastodon actually so excited for the pin
@halcy @Mastodon Same, but also, I should make a pin…

@WAHa_06x36 @halcy @Mastodon

And you should make it toot sweet!

@Mastodon I am 1,000% buying a Mastodon pin.

This Mastodon pin is super cute, I want one! Can’t wait til they are available to buy.

@Mastodon we need a John Mastodon poster, Shepard Fairey style
@Mastodon I will 100% buy a Mastodon mug and take it to work to provoke discussion among my workmates.
@Mastodon will you be using any of the proceeds to hire moderators for your instance?
@Ethancdavenport @Mastodon While toot.garden still has them silenced, their moderation team has greatly increased in speed of handling reports, etc. They already pay their moderators as well.
@linkeddev the question was rhetorical. all open reg instances suck shit
@Ethancdavenport @linkeddev what's wrong with open reg, I don't wanna have to manually get approved to join the fedi, and not many people really do

@10volt @linkeddev if a nazi can sign up onto an instance with zero vetting or oversight, that is a bad instance posing a clear and present danger to marginalized fedi users.

i don’t care what you or “many other people” want. i want zero nazis on my federated social media platform.

@Ethancdavenport @10volt @linkeddev
What vetting process could possibly stop a Nazi who wants to hide who they are during an application? You gonna doxx everyone before they join?
@Mastodon This might be legit, I hope to get some stickers!

@yassie_j id put it right next to my rivers cuomo funko pop
@a I legit would pay for a mammoth plushie, it would be so cute
@yassie_j id buy two so they wouldnt be lonely
@Mastodon give my it! I will wear it on my TikTok’s and streams all the time
@Mastodon I’m all for that mug 😁
@Mastodon I really want that mug  
@Mastodon looking great! Who's FRESH merch? Can you give a link to learn more about them?

@Mastodon

I might be ready to give you money without having to consume something at the same time. This is called "donation". ;)

But on your website, I did not find information on how to donate.

@Mastodon My admin senses are tingling, I need a mug and or a shirt 
@Mastodon Cool! I'd like to get a t-shirt or two...especially if this is gonna help the developers and this platform overall.
@Mastodon id be down to get a pin or something to support Mastodon
@Mastodon i love this... probs cant really afford any of it, but i hope this is very successful
@Mastodon Nice 👍
Though I feel like there's an opportunity to merchandise the John Mastodon meme too 😆
@Mastodon Oh no only 250? I'm definitely buying one of each merch type, and possibly one of each design in one category.
@Mastodon Hope to see a plushie one day, but will settle for a t-shirt and mug 😊 (If I'm able to get hold of one, I think that 250 limit will be used up fast)
@christian @Mastodon as someone who proudly has a firefox 1.0 shirt... Sell em!
@Mastodon far too little being produced...
@Mastodon I’ll buy a mug! Wish you also had bookmarks.
@Mastodon I fancy that pin... But if there aren't enough items, maybe the @crochet and @knitting groups could help you...
I do hope that this #merch is not made by slave labour

@Mastodon

Good luck with the fundraiser!

Will the proceeds be going toward software development, or hosting your instances?

The answer to this matters, and there is as of yet no transparency to how previous funds have been spent.

Donors deserve to know.

@Mastodon Do the funds go towards just Social or do some of resulting efforts get used by other instances in the Mastodon universe?
@Mastodon "did you know you can get notified when we post if you click on the bell button after following?)."... Apologies for the newbie question but where is the bell icon? I've followed you since I first signed up but never seen a bell icon on any account using the Android Mastodon app (v2.0.1)... That I can see. Thank you!
@healthiswealth @Mastodon It might look slightly different on the app you’re using, but if you tap the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner, it might bring up a menu that allows you to turn on notifications for that user. I use a different app so I’m not 100% sure, but that may be where the notifications option is?
@tiamat271 @Mastodon Hi, thank you for replying! :) Unfortunately it doesn't appear there or in any of the other menu (Featured/About/Post and Replies/Media). As you'd expect, with other apps like Tusky and Fedilab, it appears on the Account pages next to Follow/Unfollow. It's bound to be something simple which I'm missing... But what?... #mastodon #mastodonapp #mastodonappforandroid
@healthiswealth @Mastodon That is so strange! It must be tucked away somewhere, I can’t imagine the developers would have omitted such a useful feature. 🤔 Maybe a fellow android app user will be able to shed light on it. Good luck!
