@Paulatics I'm on social.coop for very basic but powerful reasons:
1. It has an excellent governance model
2. It asks every member to donate (even a small amount)
3. It pays it's moderators (see #2)

I wish more mastodon servers took this level of care. I honestly think we only need a few servers to really do this properly to have a vibrant, ethical, and sustainable model going forward for consumers to feel safe.

I'd even suggest that cities/states could step in as the amount of money is NOT very much and it provides a helpful way for cities to be in touch with their communities.
