For the amount of VC inquiries Pixelfed has received, I can't imagine how many offers Mastodon gets

Big ups to the big G for not selling out

It takes a lot of love and true dedication to be able to ignore such tempting offers, and really goes to show how dedicated he is to the fediverse, open social platforms and humanity!

@dansup the thing about those offers is they're often the end of the project and the founder rarely really comes out all that well. I mean, in the cases I can think of, most got a pretty good salary for a couple years, and then left as the company/project withers into irrelevance under new leadership brought in by the investors. No big exit happens in the vast majority of cases, even though that's always the bait they use to get you on board.
