@raccoon oh yay it looks like my changes to mastodon.py made it into a release now so there should be more features to work with now :)

Contemplating how to go about building a patreon fund for our staff who need the money

Anyone have any advice for this kind of thing? Do I need an LLC or something like that to distribute funds without any US tax burden?

death, poverty, mastopol cont. 

a final point i'll make about critically engaging with how you distribute and exercise your resources is this parting thought: gargron isn't the only person who has put or is putting work into this website, but he is the only person getting money out of it. if you can boost his patreon, there's no reason you can't boost mine too.

bleak appreciates your listening. feel free to drop a coin in the jar / boost

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.

Since I feel like people don't take me very seriously on it:

continuous reminder that I'm super open to discussing rules and federation and what awoo.space is in my head and what I try to do to make sure that lines up with what people want out of it

just as long as you aren't being argumentative or judgmental over it we'll get along famously!

@sparrow @raccoon masto.social has a huge backlog of posts. things are delayed by about 3/4 hours there right now

@bleak I mean it isn't that already but that's not what damn near everybody here would tell you

@bleak yuup -_- I'd be a lot more into this platform if mastodon != eugen

Serious question: whoever else here is a POC can you please reply to this toot? I just want to see a random sampling if I'm literally the only non-white person, so no joke responses please

@raccoon it might just be one way? Though in the past it seemed like the admins here were potentially open to the idea of whitelisting a singe user instances if asked?

yikes the masto.social queue is behind by three hours now D:

Awoo Space

Awoo.space is a Mastodon instance where members can rely on a team of moderators to help resolve conflict, and limits federation with other instances using a specific access list to minimize abuse.
