A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Ok. Fair enough, moderators usually are also part of the community, so they akso have the incentive to keep it going well even if unpaid.
Yet, the point stands. Remove "moderators" from the previous comment. Show me any donation-based instance on Mastodon that is able to pay (market-rate) for the labor of admins and developers.
Why aren't admins considered part of the community? When it comes to the mastodon developers, they're making 30,000 USD a month. I think they're fine.
