here's a tip

tip your instance admins

@Barredo I split this between admins and developers. But yes. Let's support the people who do the work.
@Barredo What a breath of fresh air this Bender meme is after countless drakes
@Barredo mmh if i do the second then im gifting myself 8€, unfortunately there is no dupe exploit for this :(
@Barredo I see these often but never a link to actually donate. If anyone has a link for home.social donations please provide. My guilt can only be ignored so long before I hit doldrum stage.

@AppalachianCrochet all the info https://home.social/about

Looks like @[email protected] needs help with moderation instead of money (or maybe money for a mod team?)

HOME.social

Hosted fully redundant in Germany. Committed to speed & availability. For people who want to be excellent to each other. English and German. Operated for the community by Rottmann Ventures GmbH.

Mastodon hosted on home.social
@Barredo @ralf BTW, if you need donated assistance as a mod I would definitely be willing to assist. Thank you for keeping our little spot well oiled. 👍I am retired and would be happy to offer a helping hand.

@AppalachianCrochet @Barredo
Most instances have their donations listed somewhere on their /About page.

Home.Social has the following:
Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/homesocial/about
Librepay: https://liberapay.com/RottmannVentures/

The instance I'm on, Tech.LGBT has
Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wolfpaw
Librepay: https://liberapay.com/wolfpaw/ (I donated to this one!)

And I donated to Mastodon.Social back when I was on it at:
Patreon: https://patreon.com/mastodon

Hope this helps everyone. ^^

@AppalachianCrochet @Barredo You generally won't see links to donate in such calls, because you should donate to the admin of *your* instance, not donate to some random other instance of the person posting a call to donate.

@Barredo well said. Here in Aotearoa you can donate $5 per month to mastodon.nz

We host OpenSource alternatives to mainstream social media platforms.

@Barredo Muskrat changed the price from overpriced to overpriced and pretended that things changed.

Also, if you actually want lax moderation and not heavy censorship but with republicans, Mastodon (and moreso the Fediverse) is still much better than it than Muskrat. These places aren't for everyone (especially since you'll get toxic garbage from places like "Nice"Crew and such), but at least a lot of the admins there are actually dedicated to free speech. Meanwhile, Elon is drumming up hype from popular culture warriors while most others are still routinely banned.
@Barredo there may be some controversy here :3 best be careful what you meme

@Barredo
Don't forget to tip the lovely people running all the infrastructure that helps us, like peertube, pixelfed, funkywhale and guppe as well as others who run infrastructure you use (by watching a video) without even havbing an account there :)

So if your instance has enough, help others. Help with time and moderation. Maybe write some documentation. :)

@Barredo How does one find who their instance admins are?
@bobmonsour @Barredo usually here on the about page you’ll find some information: https://indieweb.social/about

@Barredo This is the way. Support your local server. ✊
@Barredo oh my god there's a bender version of this meme format, glorious
@Barredo yo how many cretins running masto instances?
@isAutonomous (my instance admin) at the local LUG meeting you get a free Drink!
@Barredo My admins have a Patreon page, so they get tipped on regular basis.
@Barredo I'm on what is probably the smallest instance in the federation and try to support in as many ways as I can, including a few red cents from time to time!
