My local Madison insurance is forming a steering committee and has created an LLC. (I’m a member of the committee.) We will solicit donations, because mostly it has been one guy paying for a small regional instance of about 100 AU.

We think of it like public broadcasting, like PBS. I will be happy to kick in a few dollars per month to pay for it. We have contests, online meetups, and other fun. It’s not just Mastodon, it’s an active regional online community, and it’s worth it.

(I also donate to my Lemmy instance, because it’s worth it too!)

Spread the good word!

I just set up a paid account on Tuta today replacing my paid Proton account.

“Here’s your address.” They use it.
