I'd love to understand the costs associated with a project like this. Do you have a breakdown anywhere of where money goes each month?

[โ€“] lwadmin@lemmy.world 40 points 2 days ago (3 children)

We keep a blog but it's way overdue.... but the costs didn't change much so you get an idea: https://blog.mastodon.world/

We keep a blog but it's way overdue....

Hugely understandable. It's so much rougher than people think for a small project to maintain a consistent blog. Thank you for the posts you do have!

Goddamn, I thought it was cheaper! I donate already to my instance and dev but I'll throw what I can your way too.

Can you promote this link to the body of the post instead of buried in a comment?

Their Open Collective page has useful information about their budget.

https://opencollective.com/mastodonworld#category-BUDGET

Perhaps it doesn't show everything, but it seems like it shows quite a lot of how their donated money flows.

It seems like that page might not be taking into account income from other platforms though; it estimates the annual budget as being โ‚ฌ4,000, despite the official monthly budget (as listed on their Mastodon blog as of last September) being โ‚ฌ1,700.
