This Mastodon pin is super cute, I want one! Can’t wait til they are available to buy.

@Mastodon I will 100% buy a Mastodon mug and take it to work to provoke discussion among my workmates.

@meraord I used to take a Frozen mug to school so the pupils could think it was funny. A Mastodon mug will make for even better conversation.

@Ethancdavenport @Mastodon While toot.garden still has them silenced, their moderation team has greatly increased in speed of handling reports, etc. They already pay their moderators as well.

@alexanderhay @Mastodon That would be lovely, but of course there's a bit more of an upfront cost to that. We're starting slow but we'll add more items over time as long as demand keeps up 🙂

@alexanderhay @Gargron @Mastodon maybe some of the crafting community on Mastodon can produce blue wooly mammoths and also share the sewing and knitting patterns for that? Would they get sued for making bootleg Mastodons?

@Loukas @alexanderhay @Gargron @Mastodon Sounds like the kind of decentralisation the fediverse is all about…

@Loukas @Gargron @Mastodon That reminds me of the company that made the first wave of soft toy Paddingtons. They were, ahem, 'unlicensed', but then the owners ended up having a friendly chat with Paddington's creator, Michael Bond, in the lift, and all differeces (and royalties) were resolved. This made the merch retrospectively legit, and it was all very high quality anyway. And the final twist? The owners of the firm were also the parents of... Jeremy Clarkson!

@Mastodon looking great! Who's FRESH merch? Can you give a link to learn more about them?

I might be ready to give you money without having to consume something at the same time. This is called "donation". ;) But on your website, I did not find information on how to donate.

@Mastodon id be down to get a pin or something to support Mastodon

@Mastodon Nice 👍

@Mastodon Oh no only 250? I'm definitely buying one of each merch type, and possibly one of each design in one category. 
Christian Alder
@Mastodon Hope to see a plushie one day, but will settle for a t-shirt and mug 😊 (If I'm able to get hold of one, I think that 250 limit will be used up fast)

@Mastodon Ik had liever iets volwassener en strakkere items met logo verwacht. Maar misschien komt dat nog.

Good luck with the fundraiser! Will the proceeds be going toward software development, or hosting your instances? The answer to this matters, and there is as of yet no transparency to how previous funds have been spent. Donors deserve to know. 
AskPippa🇨🇦
@Mastodon Do the funds go towards just Social or do some of resulting efforts get used by other instances in the Mastodon universe?

@Mastodon "did you know you can get notified when we post if you click on the bell button after following?)."... Apologies for the newbie question but where is the bell icon? I've followed you since I first signed up but never seen a bell icon on any account using the Android Mastodon app (v2.0.1)... That I can see. Thank you!
Lord Segazawa
@Mastodon that is some great merch. I just wish I had more interaction with people and groups here. Really not a fan of the X rebranding on the other site…

@Mastodon “When we initially polled you on Mastodon to see what kind of demand there is for merch, over 6,700 of you said you would buy something. Of course, social media polls can’t entirely be trusted, so we went for a far more conservative initial batch. Only 250 units of each item will be available at launch. So they might sell out quick!”

@Mastodon it's a super good idea 🙏🏼 Please use materials and everything in general as environmentally sustainable as possible so as to be ethical in other ways and set an example 😊🍀

@Mastodon Where is this merch?? I needs me a coffee mug!

Also sharing that you can #support @Mastodon directly through https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors (in case you already have too much stuff or see this when stock is sold)

@Mastodon T-shirt idea: "I've met John Mastodon and now I have this awesome t-shirt"

@Mastodon Because in the same named native App, your Instance in still set as the pre chosen Option, all in the name of better Onboarding you mentioned, that's Bullshit. 🙄 Mastodon.Social has become greedy as fuck in the same manner as Twitter once, for all the wrong reasons in my humble Opinion at least. 😒 Thanks to @oliver 😉

IMHO: With so much real estate, the easiest smartest way to raise more funds for #Mastodon dev is: Zoom out & discuss the ethical implementation of a #TRENDING section unlike #Twitter-style #Algorithm manipulation — with #iTHiNKLabs' guidance🔴https://rb.gy/j0dzm #Brand #Differentiation #Fediverse #SocialMedia #Tech #Social #UX #Strategy #Twitter #Threads #Bluesky #ElonMusk #TwitterX #Technology #Branding #Business #Innovation #Management

@Mastodon @annettamallon This is great news because donating to my instance is inaccessible, and I want to give Mastodon financial support. |
