@samhenrigold @kai 🥲

@samhenrigold I am confused by these statements.

@taylorlorenz I pitched the idea to their CEO right before they launched Notes, but seemingly unsuccessfully. A few days later there was the catastrophic interview with @reckless1280 that ensured I never followed up on it. But technically of course it's totally feasible.

@ellsinger 400

She’s so cute 😭

@vStrawberry It would cost $136 to ship the plushie from the US to Brazil, so unfortunately I do not think we can offer it.

@fesshole You could have written a letter asking him to be quieter...

The #Mastodon stuffed toy is now sold out in the EU (but a 100 units are reserved for the UK). The US ones are technically ready to ship now but we still need to do some administrative work before we can start selling them. Sorry!

@hiker It does.

@hiker It should.

Side note, if you'd like us to help pay our bills for the 5 full-time employees and a number of freelancers we currently have working on developing Mastodon and bringing you new features, and potentially grow the team to do so even faster, there is a number of ways you can do so outlined on this page: https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors

@GRA3432 That's false.

@stschwar Beautiful!

@anantagd @swf You're welcome!

@anantagd We support the @swf, we're not "in" it (and neither is Meta).

#DevinTownsend's #PowerNerd album is out now. Time to listen to the whole thing...

@hisham_hm I don't understand why they felt this change was necessary.

Mastodon is financed by crowdfunding instead of venture capital not because we don't know that venture capital exists, not because we don't have bills to pay, and not because venture capital isn't willing to give money to new social media platforms. VCs don't want a sustainable business, they want a big exit. Every VC-backed business is on a timer to deliver or die.

@Chrishallbeck Damn, it's me.

@linuxoid @shantara What do you mean?
