Who's working on sustainable ways to fund Mastodon, globally and locally? What will create a community spirit of donating to support both local instances AND the movement as a whole? As the movement that takes down Twitter ... what's our equivalent of Bernie Sanders' "$27 bucks"?

@Willeaston there’s a ton of ways to support this free open source decentralized project. Most links can be found on GitHub. Such as https://github.com/metabolist/metatext and https://github.com/mastodon .
