@Gargron I'll try to chip in ASAP, since I really like this platform. Of course, I can't contribute too much, but a monthly donation is on my mind.

@Gargron mastodon best twitter alternative apps i like it.

@gargron thank you, already did this. Your work is much appreciated.

@gargron

thank you for developing mastodon! 👍💐 #torvalds #bdfl

@Gargron gerne. Was ist angemessen?

@Gargron I truly admire the platform and the mission.

I do wonder if it will have financial resources sufficient to meet increasing demand from twitter migrations.

Perhaps US NPR / PBS would be a feasible model to fund growth - semi-non-profit - or as a partnership? Just a thought.

@Gargron membership as patreon is done. 😁👋

@Gargron good job

@Gargron It's really great that the main Mastodon Patreon has this option for those who can't spend more but still want to contribute.

@gargron where is the Donate button in the client? To be successfull you have to make paying really easy. Ask Jeff Bezos 😉

@Gargron Do you need help in other areas? Also, it would be cool if we could donate with BTC lightning 😀

@Gargron I couldn’t find the “about” section for mastodon.social, had to Google it

Here is the Patreon link for mastodon.social

I donated. You should too #NoAds

@Gargron The messages are much less aggressive than on Twitter and I haven't found any misinformation, harassment or insults so far. I'm thinking of staying here.

@Gargron I can’t seem to add a background image (header image). Any advice? In the sir mode, I click on the gray image and it seems to open a new screen but it’s blank.

@Gargron

@Gargron Done!

@Gargron I hope in the future, you could to probate dms or groups which is end to end encryption and maybe deleting notifications if you could. That’ll be helpful.

@Gargron just donated, happy to be here 😊

@Gargron yeah how dose that work I just got her and I have no idea how to get on these different servers or are people hosting there own mastodon sites and that connected to the main hub?

@Gargron I absolutely love this. Excellent model, great service, eager to support this financially. Let’s do this, friends. 🎉

@Gargron so many feature questions, like why can’t i post a picture (is it my new iPhone) and how do I put a picture in the grey area at my personal account….

@Gargron hi looks like the #disability community is experiencing #access issues especially with #screenreaders , for example the Compose button while using #VoiceOver on #iOS as per the toot by @HabenGirma linked below.

I’m personally new to the app so don’t know how or where to bring attention to #accessibility issues so they can be addressed! #a11y https://mastodon.social/@HabenGirma/109259674417438870

@Gargron Where do I find my server's about page?

@Gargron very cool

@Gargron thank you for this — for the Twitter refugees it’s really a port in a storm, so thanks.

@Gargron done and dusted

@Gargron thanks for this fantastic work! I’m very happy to contributing. It was my first time on Patreon. Yep, I’m not an early adopter for this time 😀

@Gargron how do you get to your server's about page on the mobile app?

@Gargron Yeah LGBT was a given for me. Came out around June 2021, hope to go to DC PRIDE

@Gargron Just wanna say, the decentralised format for this social media is perfect and long needed. Excellent work

@Gargron Do contributions via Open Collective go to support the mastodon.social server or the larger Mastodon project?
https://opencollective.com/mastodon

@Gargron done.

@Gargron Interesting, I'll check it out

@Gargron hell yeah. I signed up to support my sever monthly

@Gargron how do we find that page?

@Gargron noticed some delays this morning so I increased my donation. Let us know if we can also help in a different way.

@Gargron Done ✊🏻

@Gargron already on that! Much prefer the 8 bucks a month goes here.
