🔗 Service Offerings from Mastodon
Mastodon’s started offering paid hosting and support for institutions that want their own corner of the fediverse. They’re already working with the EU and a few local governments. It’s a sensible move that keeps things sustainable without selling out the decentralised idea.
I think this is a great move by the Mastodon team - so many instances are supported by their members through donations. As I understand it, a large part of Mastodon’s funding comes from donations and sponsors too.
By diversifying their income streams, we will hopefully see Mastodon here for the long-term, and (more importantly) not selling out to big tech as they will be able to stand on their own two feet.
…Mozilla, take note. You sausages.
