If you can, you should support your local Mastodon instance this holiday season :blobcat_santamelt: and give your admin the support and need to continue their, often entirely voluntary, work!

Winter has been especially rough for our instance mastodon.de :MastodonDE: as we still (partially) run physical servers and the energy costs are tied to our solar panels, which produce less during the winter!

If you have the resources and ability, please donate: https://mastodon.de/@MastodonDE/110808633497349326 :liberapay: :paypal: :patreon: :kofi:

However, keep in mind we're in a very privileged position and may not need the money as much, so donate to your local, a small, or just favorite / a random instance if you can! Give back the love and care these projects often rely on, but don't feel bad if you can't; we do this for you, after all!! :blobcatsanta:
