@aral @violetathena I didn't receive any EU funding until 2022 through @NGIZero. No, there is no ongoing stream, it was based on a specific timeframe and a specific set of milestones. I started working on Mastodon in 2016 without any external funding.

I encourage you to get more funding because you need to face growth, exponential growth. And all on AWS will not make it on the long run.

@Gargron @violetathena @NGIZero Thanks, Eugen.

That’s exactly the issue I’ve raised twice at the European Parliament now. That we need funding for organisations not features and we need it at the start, not after it’s impossible to ignore that something works and is being used (because not everyone can or should have to undertake the burden of getting to that point by themselves. Some of us do, but if we require that as a rite of passage we’re going to limit the potential for alternatives.)

Thank you. So many voices have a place to be heard due to your thoughtfulness, hard work from years ago and ongoing.
