@MrCompletely jerrybase crew only? Or heads in general?

I can't help but notice many toots from helpful newbies encouraging you to support the Mastodon Patreon.

It's fine to do that but understand it goes to just two big instances and the official Mastodon dev team.

It does NOT trickle down to YOUR instance. If you want to support your server, donate to it directly. Nearly all the costs of the explosive growth of the past few weeks is borne by local instances.

Mastodon is decentralized. There is no Mastodon Inc. This is not Twitter.

So yesterday I spoke of the need to #FundTheFediverse - to build critical infrastructure for the #Fediverse & the need to do so before the next item in the #MuskPocolypse occurs. (Which seems daily)

These are my early ideas: in 🧵 form.

1. The first obvious thing is to donate to your local instance admin, find their Patreon, usually on their about page, & give even $1 dollar.

Make it happen. Give $8 bucks if you want the added benefit of mocking Elon.

Next one in the reply.

I’m used to existing in the mirror universe, so having an account there and an account here is no biggie. #TwitterRefugees

@Fate_Music_JG this begs the question: who was Slow Joe? And why was his girl there and not him?

@Fate_Music_JG come for the JGB, stay for the polka festival

Anyone else trying to get #taylorswift tickets? This is an exercise in unnecessary frustration and stupidity.

This should not be this hard
