Mastodon is financed by crowdfunding instead of venture capital not because we don't know that venture capital exists, not because we don't have bills to pay, and not because venture capital isn't willing to give money to new social media platforms. VCs don't want a sustainable business, they want a big exit. Every VC-backed business is on a timer to deliver or die.
Side note, if you'd like us to help pay our bills for the 5 full-time employees and a number of freelancers we currently have working on developing Mastodon and bringing you new features, and potentially grow the team to do so even faster, there is a number of ways you can do so outlined on this page: https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors
@Gargron Does it help if I buy a Mastodon stuffed toy? I just bought one and I hope it helps! P. S. Was I lucky enough to buy one of the last ones? I just saw the page right after buying it, and it appears to be sold out!
@everton137 @Gargron Ohh it is Sold out! I want one
