Let's hope that Mastodon instances will be able to work on donations. Otherwise who knows what happens. Servers cost money.

Seems like crowd funding has been working pretty well so far, and I think that's really the right model to pursue. I pitch in a couple of bucks for the server I use, and it only takes a small percentage of the users to do that to make this viable.

keeping track of costs and funding should be implemented on mastodon ui Open Coilective founder said she will look into implementing a health bar type element synced with the Open Collective api on their mastodon. wage transparency is something capitalists kept forbidden for a reason. im surprised the hyper capitalist crypto people dont have the balance from hyper communist coders making open source sustainability super easy and cool.
