"A huge thank you to the Sovereign Tech Agency for their support of open source and the Fediverse!

We are grateful for this funding, but this is not all that we need! We have even more plans and ideas to tackle the complex challenges that we need to address for everyone. We really appreciate all the donations from the people who use Mastodon every day, so please continue to donate when you can, to help us to build a sustainable open social web for everyone."

This addresses some really difficult and long-standing problems and I really look forward to seeing the result.

I've had my eye on FIRES for some time and this funding will take it from fringe niche thing to the big time.
