@mellifluousbox@mastodon.social thank you for asking for Donations for Mastodon Development. @digitalcourage@digitalcourage.social , we have a good deal that I pay €1 per month for your hosting. Does this also include that @digitalcourage@digitalcourage.social pays Mastodon devs? How much would every user have to pay for hosting and development to make it sustainable? I would prefer a simple model where I just pay my normal fee to my hoster and the hoster pays forward to the developers / maintainers. I see the users and servers are currently divided into "you may donate but you can freeride" and "you must pay". I prefer a fair model where all users see the value of mastodon and thus are ok to share the cost and must pay. This distributes the cost amongst all users.
