@kel @Mastodon I think they are talking about "Every donation fuels the mission to keep Mastodon an independent, safe and ad-free alternative to mainstream for-profit platforms, centrally operated out of the U.S., backed by venture capital. " I think there is more to the mastodon as a script/application to run as an instance than the mastodon as a service that you use. By the way, the one who decided the policy and policed your post in your instance is the administrator of your instance. 6 comments
@kel @Mastodon I think they need funds to develop better moderation tools or something like that and also to keep the code more to general people, not to those of capital owners. You know, sometimes, if the software becomes too big, some venture will try to gain profit from it, which made sense since their mission is to make a profit. Other than that, I don't know what they intend to do; at least, that's what I got after reading that link.  Yes, I see what you mean! I was led to believe that this immutability was already enshrined in some legal contract somewhere, but I may be mistaken. @i_understand @kel @Mastodon Well, I hope they will donate some money to Mastodon since they are actively using it. |

The first part is interesting and useful thanks!
The last two points, I am, already aware of thanks again!
The last one is why I like Mastodon, it allows for everyone to find their space and keeps the policing decentralised and accountable within it's own structures and relationships. Is it perfect? No! Is it better than one person having absolute control - hell yeah!! It feels more natural. I am asking what it needs beyond this, I guess?
