@FinchHaven@sfba.social @Mastodon@mastodon.social Yes, siphoning money out of a barely affluent company is absolutely a good use of time.

Please return to reality.

"barely affluent"

uh....

$!00,000.00 USD might help with that sting of being "barely affluent" don'tchathink?

"Thank you Sujitech"

"Today we would like to thank Sujitech for kindly donating $100k USD to Mastodon, by far the largest single donation to our non-profit so far."

Mastodon BlogThank you SujitechToday we would like to thank Sujitech for kindly donating $100k USD to Mastodon, by far the largest single donation to our non-profit so far. Building Mastodon, which encompasses the core software on one end, and two native mobile applications on the other, is not cheap, and we can only afford a handful of full-time positions right now, relying in many ways on volunteer work. Sujitech is a Japanese tech company whose mission is to achieve a truly free and open internet, and that has supported Mastodon in various ways for many years.

@FinchHaven@sfba.social @Mastodon@mastodon.social That's NOTHING in comparision to how much any other medium size company has.

@FinchHaven @privateger @Mastodon
Reminder that $100,000 is an amount of that sounds big on paper, but when you use it on the expenses of running multiple servers that millions of people connect to every day, then split it between two full-time employees, it whittles down to minimum wage type numbers.

Bee O'Problem :godot:

@Raccoon @FinchHaven @Mastodon @privateger yup. At market rates 100k wouldn't even cover a single full-time employee for a year, let alone server costs and whatever other expenses running .social would require.

Keeping two people housed and fed *and* running a social network on top of that for just 100k is pretty impressive. Thankfully they've got more than just that single large donation keeping the lights on
