Study finds that on Etsy, female consumers have a preference for products made by women, while male consumers showed no preference. Female consumers more strongly believed that their purchase decisions could contribute to gender equality in business. https://myscp.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/jcpy.1327

EDIT: DO NOT BOOST!

This post is nearly a year old, and boosting will simply spread misinformation. Mastodon now has substantially more funding, and has enough scale to handle its many users.

I would delete this post but my server is not letting me so I'm editing this to reflect that I wish for you to NOT BOOST!

Right now Mastodon is only receiving appr. $21,000/month through Patreon.

This is not enough to handle the 1 million new accounts that will be made this week.

Currently, only 4,720 patrons are donating to Mastodon.

However, if everyone chips in $2/month, this will ensure the continued survival of Mastodon!

Be a hero! Donate now! https://www.patreon.com/mastodon
