Mastodon has announced in a blog post that they will start accepting in-app donations through the instances they operate. Soon, this feature may expand to all servers, where individual admins may receive financial support from their members.
Since they have previously relied on Patreon, I’m curious to see whether this is based off something like Strip or Apple/Google, or whether Crypto can be accepted in specific instances eventually.
