@Gargron I am not 100% sure that people know about your Patreon for monetary support? Maybe it could be an idea to advertise for it more often and let people know that if we all want to have a community which is sustainable and working without burning out the main devs, we have to all chip in. A small contribution is a contribution ? Would some advertisement be considered as a possibility, or is it a no-no? (Sorry not much experience with running a SoMe platform, obviously…)

Avoiding outages or slowdowns may be impossible, but this isn't a startup that'll run out of cash or confidence if you don't keep it running 24/7. Mastodon will continue to succeed even if you're forced to take a breath, slow signups or whatever, even if we as users have to show some patience for a while!

@Gargron I recall you being fairly against the proposal to add the ability to charge for signing up to an instance? Has your stance on that changed?
Like, 817k * 10$ / year or something would be a pretty healthy amount of revenue that'd ensure servers could keep up with the hardware and social requirements (paid moderation teams)

I decided to support @Mastodon on Patreon at $10/mo because I believe in open source development and keeping the Internet free and open to the public, not controlled by a for-profit company. People who can’t pay, should not have to. Those that can, please consider doing so and let’s build a better platform together. There are other places and ways to donate and support, this is just one. @Gargon @Mastodon@mstdn.social @feditips #SupportMastodon #TwitterMigration #Patreon

@Gargron That is not a great spot to be in. I wonder if @will might be interested to have you on his FOSS Pod to discuss what that looks like and what solutions are out there.

@Gargron keep up the good hard work. I'm excited to be supporting open infrastructure and just updated my Patreon membership to Sponsor. I hope others will do the same and Mastodon gets the support it needs

@Gargron much love and support to you from all of us - I can well imagine that it's been a very difficult week for you. Do you have some kind of patreon page so that we can help with any finances?

@Gargron The question is how much the Pateron income will scale with users. Will that be enough to do all that with so many users.

I bought 75 Satco lids and containers. One of my existing lids was a mirror image.
