I just realized that I don't need to argue with y'all about:
* Starter packs
* Composable moderation
* Quote tweets
* Paying trust & safety engineers for their labor
* Funding stuff without VC or begging for donations
* If UX is possible without VC money

I don't need to argue with y'all about any of this. I'm not asking for your permission or your help. I'm telling you what's going to happen.

Mastodon is moving in the right direction, just slowly. It could be faster with funding + focus.

@mekkaokereke Is there a place where we can donate to help these goals get achieved? Thanks!

Edit: I know about the main donation link for Mastodon but I wonder if maybe there is something else where money is earmarked for these goals?

I donate to Nivenly. I don't fund projects directly myself. Because I don't trust myself. I'm a dude on the internet. That's two strikes already!

By donating to Nivenly, all members of the Nivenly co-op get to decide which projects to fund, and why.

Nivenly has a great blend of Black, White, Asian, Latin, and trans, technologists, who've seen this movie before (risks of blocklists and starter packs). Very socio-technically aware. They provide governance.👍🏿
