in the interests of transparency, i'm aware that me saying that garg being the only person to get paid for this might not be true in the future, or even now. nothing would make me happier than to be proven wrong, so i want to leave room for that. that is, imo, one of the most vital portions of my call to action. try to make sure the queer folks that are putting work into making the fediverse a good place to be are getting paid for that work.

and the fun thing about this is that like, when garg's patreon was $600/mo or so i didn't quite feel comfortable calling for everyone who worked on it to get paid-- i did it anyway. but now i feel more than comfortable putting that idea forth
