Si Hobbs, squatting on Kulin land.
@maegrenofwithy I would love to have a photo of this from a physical book. It would be a powerful social media share.
@ross_bolden what's the joke I'm missing
@mike_honey_ does that mean you have applied 10X already to get to these numbers, or is it a warning that the numbers don't reflect reality.
@AusSocialMods ahh. Good policy. I guess I'm in the wrong place though. I though just #auspol would be enough and people would mute it.
Also TIL what CW is and what that button does.
Chris TrottierBy the way, I'm now actively blocking anyone coming here to argue about the merits of donating to the NON-PROFIT that builds Mastodon.
It's absolute dirtbag behaviour when Mastodon struggles so much under a #TwitterMigration of millions of users.
Now lets put things into perspective. Last month, Twitter was employing 6,500 people. Mastodon employs 1 person who's working 14 hour days -- and only compensates himself €36,000 a year.
How is one guy supposed to take build the app that replaces Twitter when Twitter pays hundreds of engineers well over $100,000 to do a fraction of the work?
Yeah, other people deserve donations too -- so donate! Be a hero to the person who's running your instance, as well as the person who builds whatever app your instance is running.
And lest you think that I don't bang the drums on donations for other devs, this is not the case.
Last week, I told everyone to donate to @dansup. A couple of days ago, I told everyone to donate to @Are0h who, by the way, is making another app that builds safety features for marginalized communities. And I'm banging the drum all the time on @[email protected] and his work with Calckey.
But right now, I'm urging people to help out with Mastodon!
So if you have it in your heart to donate to a very good cause -- the continued development and existence of Mastodon -- contribute to Mastodon's Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/mastodon

@WithDownes it's good to see you here. I followed you on Twitter too, just slowly moving over
@WithDownes 👋 how is Mastodon treating you so far?
