just call your app mastodon.social if you want it to be a mastodon.social client, jesus christ. it's almost as if mastodon isn't even meant to be a federated server software

how about this: server info could include a donation link, and this donation link could be displayed in the app as "support instance"

@megalodon They should just make the donation link a part of the Mastodon API, and then all servers and all clients could support it.

@steve @megalodon 💯

I do think that's the direction they're going, and they test things like this in the app… at the same time, it's possible it gets hairy with app store rules around payments.

@cassidy @steve @megalodon
Im pretty sure that it gets hairy if you want to sell things, I thought donations would be fine?

@megalodon I 100% believe Gargron would defederate if he believed it wouldn't tank the userbase. Then he'd try to get VC money somehow.

@Kiloku @megalodon be a laugh if most of the network got there first & defederated from him

@megalodon they're like a "small big tech" raised inside the fediverse itself.

@megalodon If servers need donation, they should have a unified approach. The donation link for mastodon.social specifically is an example of bad programming practice.

@megalodon@floss.social so glad they formed that non profit with VC types on the board. otherwise we wouldn't get to experience this type of horseshit. /s

@megalodon Is almost like Eugen has gone on a power trip upon realizing that 90% of the fediverse is on Mastodon software, and 90% of that is on mastodon.social.

The software itself has been going through some wuestionable decisions as well, sooooo there's that. I'm happy on Iceshrimp as much as I used to be on Firefish. I feel like all of Mastodon is derogating itself
