@stopsatgreen One of the biggest problems with twitter is that it is pay-to-play, it is just that its users aren't the ones playing, the people selling things to the users are paying for the users. Mastodon is a system that can be paid for by the people using it. Sustainability is a completely different thing here than it is for twitter. Twitter needs to make a profit, mastodon needs to keep a server running. Paying @Gargron for dev work would be nice too.
