   You may not be aware of the economics of Mastodon if you're used to Twitter, or Insta, or Facebook.

   Please - go look at the /about page for whatever server you're on, and see who's running it and now to contribute, financially.

   You are not the product on Mastdon. Your information is not being sold to other companies or advertisers. So your activity here *costs the person running your service money*. It's often a person, not company.

   If you value Mastodon, and you can, please cover your cost.

     Hey, those of you on mstdn.social - @stux runs this server and it's literally just him. You may not see his Announcements.

     He's short a few hundred euro's on the server bills this month.

     Please - contribute to help cover your costs.

     This is not a big company service. It's not a Twitter or Facebook. It's costing a person money for you to use.

     Please - pay some money to cover your costs. It's the fair thing to do.

     Thank you.
