     Meanwhile some 11,000 #Mastodon instances get pennies -- if that

     $100,000.00 USD is $100,000.00 USD any way you slice it

     And that's only one donor

     @FinchHaven @Raccoon @Mastodon if you want it to be unsustainable just say so directly.

     Reminder that $100,000 is an amount of that sounds big on paper, but when you use it on the expenses of running multiple servers that millions of people connect to every day, then split it between two full-time employees, it whittles down to minimum wage type numbers.

     @FinchHaven @Raccoon @Mastodon what is the acceptable amount of support a service is allowed to have? And what is the maximum acceptable salary for a mastodon maintainer?

     @anildash

     So by "sustainable" you must mean that our boy Gargron is at the helm of the Mastodon Deathstar Mothership with the default app on the default web site, and every other instance is begging for bread crusts just to keep their servers spun up

     Got it
