Chris TrottierEDIT: 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!

Jeff JarvisI will give big points to the first news organization, big or small, that:
* Sets up an instance for its newsroom,
* Sets up an instance for the community it serves,
* Enables rel=me for staff,
* Creates a boost-on-Mastodon sharing function,
* Enhances that function so headlines/images (with alt-text) appear in the toot,
* Covers the Fediverse as more than a geeky curiosity or alt-Twitter,
* Listens to and joins in the conversation here.

Another test plot, this time with color. Order is going in for more Rotrings today - you can see how the red ink started out light but then get darker. This happened because I had to wash the black ink out of the pen and there was still some water remaining, which diluted the ink. Having more pens means I won’t have to swap out the ink. 🙂 #generativeart #penplotter #genartclub
One more, now that I have the hourglass shape tiles implemented (look in the top right and top left). Probably a good time to mention that although Crash by itself is environment-agnostic, the sample implementations that will come with Crash when it’s released are implemented using vsketch/vpype by @abey79 - by far the best environment for creating 2D #penplotter #generativeart in my opinion.
I’ve been hard at work on my #generativeart Wave Function Collapse library, Crash. It is almost ready for an open source release (definitely by Thanksgiving!)
Crash is designed to be extensible to any type of grid you can code. Out of the box, it will support rectangular and hexagonal grids, and I plan to extend support to 3D. Here are a few pre-release examples of hexagonal grid designs.
Side note: looking for a few people to beta test and plot their own designs - HMU if you’re interested!
Heidi Li FeldmanChecked the #Patreon page for #Mastodon again just now. We are tantalizingly close to the current fundraising goal, with $11,375 of $12,000 raised. Join me in donating. We can hit the target easily if enough of the #twittermigration #twexit #influx chip in. Let's get @Gargron and team to $12k per month.

One from last December. I took a break from plotting for the first part of the year and since I got back to plotting, it’s been 100% ink - definitely intending to return to doing more watercolor #generativeart.
