If you enjoy using mastodon.social, or our official apps for iOS and Android, or want to support the development of the server software itself, you can donate to our non-profit on Patreon at patreon.com/mastodon

@Gargron I'm already supporting Mastodon on #patreon. Money is well spent! 👍

Boris Mann

@Gargron are you still using OpenCollective?

Brendan Jones

@boris it’s still here opencollective.com/mastodon, and I’d much prefer to give via OpenCollective than Patreon (suits Fediverse and my ideals better), but it’d be nice to know from @Gargron that it’s still a preferred way of donating.

D'oh.

I just boosted Eugen's post. Like there's someone on the 'Verse who might not have seen it.

@Gargron also a less profit orientated option: @Liberapay 😺

@Gargron

Block Meta's federated app and more people will consider making donations.

@beforewisdom @Gargron How to make the fediverse not take off and keep most people on closed services:

If FB/INS users are allowed to federate, its users would have exactly less reasons to migrate to open platforms.

@beforewisdom @Gargron yeah I only donate to people vocally opposed to corporate takeover of FOSS and the internet, not people who fancy themselves Zuck 2.0

@Gargron Does Patreon income cover the costs of running a service/platform like this? Just curious, not after details.

@Gargron Subscribed. I use this way too much to not contribute back, 🙂

@Gargron it’s actually a great day to donate to your local server admins.

Wäre halt schön wenn Spenden ohne Zwischenwirt möglich wäre. QR-Code mit IBAN wäre schnell und direkt.

Hi Eugen
I did donate, but would have donated more if I had more options. Please consider providing more options; like $2/month or a set amount.
Thanks for all your hard work

@Gargron This is great👋, last I checked, #Patreon didn't have a way of taking 1 time donations only subscriptions. Please consider #BuyMeACoffee? This service also takes less of your donations when I last checked.

@Gargron @MrGR ich bin heute Patron von #Mastodon geworden. Gerne unterstütze ich mit einem kleinen Beitrag eine großartige Plattform im #Fediversum. ✅

@Gargron The UI is solid. It usually takes me a while to figure out how to enable dark mode apps but Mastodon was by far the easiest to navigate. Great job design team 👏

@Gargron I prefer Megalodon. The vanilla app kinda lacks features.

@Gargron I’m donating to your Open Collective. I hope that’s official and you’re getting the money

Eugen Rochko

@pratik It is official but not as useful for paying full-time employees 😅

Pratik Mhatre

@Gargron Ok. So prefer Patreon, I guess. I’m not a fan of their model for content creators though.

Pratik Mhatre

@Gargron Takes a bigger cut from our donations, right? Compared to Ko-Fi and other service, I mean.

Eugen Rochko

@pratik I see. We're on the legacy plan where it's something like 5%.

Pratik Mhatre

@Gargron Great. That’s not too bad. Some have it as high as 12% which is ridiculous. If interested, check out Ko-Fi medium.com/@kofi_blog/patreon- I have no financial stake in it and have only heard from others who use it ☺️

@Gargron Sorry that I bother you, but sending money via Paypal does not work atm. Tried it 3 times and received this graphic. Is it possible to donate direct in the Paypal App too? And if, how?

@Gargron is the app open source? If it's a tech stack im familiar with I can help to look at some issues.
