hi! while Pleroma itself does not presently accept donations, some of the developers, like myself, certainly do. to that end, you may wish to look at my new Patreon when considering how to fund fediverse development.

while donating to anyone (including Gargron) is a net positive for the fediverse, sponsoring individual developers whose ethical values align with your own may be a better option for you.

i mainly started a patreon because numerous people have enquired about whether i had one.

as i have previously discussed, i am trying to concentrate on ways to make money that are aligned with my goal of building a fediverse that can truly take the open web back from the proprietary services like facebook.

also, if you are building things with Pleroma or other related fediverse technology, you may want to pay close attention to my offered tiers -- i'm offering a substantial discount on what i normally charge for consulting on there, but it only applies to work that benefits the fediverse in a tangible way.
