   How about giving some Mastodon for the holidays!

   Even if you support your instance, Mastodon core development needs your help too >>> https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors

   Mastodon core team member & CTO @renchap has a message out this evening: https://oisaur.com/@renchap/111614485022791205

   "The amount of funding Mastodon got this year is probably less than the salary for one of the top engineers working on Threads... we want to focus on getting more money in 2024 so we can hire more people and iterate more quickly on Mastodon."

     @MrLee You can also sponsor us through Github Sponsors (https://github.com/sponsors/mastodon), or a direct donation (https://donate.stripe.com/00g5l42h8ezY3YcaEE)

     Those options will soon be on the website

     @mastodonmigration @renchap
     I wish there were more and easier ways to donate. Is joining Paetreon the only way?

     @MrLee
     We are working on this, but need to update the website with a better (and more up-to-date) page first.

     @renchap @mastodonmigration
     Cool!
     And you guys should not be shy about asking the community for money on a regular basis, though some process/mechanism. Like Wikipedia does.(But a little more subtle)
     @mike & friends.
     Any ideas on how to help with annual fundraising?

     @mgerdts Our account on Benevity is awaiting for them to confirm our bank account for some weeks, and their support cant say when they will be able to do it. Their website show a message explaining that they are changing their confirmation process and confirmations are taking longer than usual at the moment.
     As soon as everything is setup and confirmed, we will add a link to it on the sponsor page (and will post about it).

     @mastodonmigration @renchap I would like to be able to donate via benevity to have my donations doubled by my employer. This would also allow donations via payroll deduction for those that have matching programs through benevity.

     I’ve asked via staff@mastodon.org without a useful reply. According to benevity, they are awaiting bank information to be able to make deposits.

     @mastodonmigration @renchap not the first time. Ilook into this. Patreon seems the only option? How do i make a one-time gift?
