   The past few days have extracted a heavy toll from me. While it's nice to see your work finally taken seriously in the mainstream, the 12-14 hour workdays I've had to pull to handle everything is anything but...

     @Gargron Need your expertise... how do I find people with interests in news, sports, journalism, history, China and more? No offense to the developers, AI folks and computer scientists, but that's not my crew, so to speak. Help!

     I rarely talk about how tough this job can be, since I feel responsibility to only associate positive things with the project. But it is a lot of responsibilities, and a lot of stress, for what can sometimes feel like inadequate pay.

     @Gargron I can’t think of a better way to stick it to both Twitter and Musk than by becoming a monthly donator.

     I'm glad I became one today.

     My deepest, thanks to you for creating this and putting in all the hard work that you do. I honestly wish I could’ve given more. You deserve it.

     @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…)

     @Gargron We appreciate all you're doing, and how tough it is to scale systems this fast. But please, look after yourself! 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 is there a donation system setup? I'd rather send money directly than through Patreon.

     @Gargron This sentiment may not get rid of your tired and exhaustion, but thank you very much for your service. You help to provide a great place to hang out and interact with others, and in a way that helps avoid a lot of annoying stuff at the centralized and commercialized social media sites.

     Hey @Gargron
     I am sorry - but not entirely surprised - to read this.
     There is no such thing as happy24/7 (not without illegal means, and detriment to other aspects of your life). Being honest about all sides of it is fine with us here, I hope!
     I am a bit smug about having been a Patreon of yours since early days, but I also know that this is not enough.
     Please let us know what we can do to support you better?

     @Gargron Make it easier to donate. e.g. link to your Patreon from your profile. Right now I'd like to donate, but I'm not sure what's your preferred mechanism.

     @Gargron I’ve really only been here a day, but I’d like you to know that I appreciate your work. I’m amazed at what’s happening here. I hope you can find time for yourself and take a break once in a while - though I fear things will get both harder and better before they get easier and better.

     @Gargron That doesn't seem healthy! Anything we can do to help? (I am a patron, but we should maybe step up the donations?) Do you have any solution in mind for the long run, if users keep increasing?

     @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.
