Hey @Gargron, when do you start hiring?
@Savagejen @asherwolf yeah i'm just one guy with a patreon. people have been really generous but it's not at a "can hire someone" level
@Gargron @asherwolf Hopefully you'll get enough of a patreon backing that you won't need a day job though, right?
@Savagejen @asherwolf I've been doing this full-time for a couple of months already
@Gargron @asherwolf That's great! Live the dream man.
@Savagejen @asherwolf @Gargron Why don't you update your patron goal to a standard tech salary now?
@dzj @Gargron @asherwolf It would also be cool to be recognized as a project sponsor on your profile, somehow. Give people a vanity incentive.
@dzj @Gargron @asherwolf @Savagejen
yeah 800$ doesn't sound enough to me, that needs to be bumped to at least 2500
@alexduf it's at 1600 now :)
@gargron You're clearly doing it well, though.
@Gargron @asherwolf @Savagejen Really like what you are doing here, keep it up. If I knew RoR I would contribute but sadly I do not.
@Gargron @asherwolf @Savagejen
Is it enough to pay for the extra traffic though?
@alexduf @Savagejen @Gargron heh, then the answer is we need to get more ppl to throw money at you. Thank you for making this
@Gargron @Savagejen @alexduf is there a way for ppl to help volunteer if they can't donate?
@asherwolf @alexduf @Savagejen
We ( me and @Triplefox ) are currently working on an actionable system for delegation where we can drag people in.
Otherwise this is a start:

@maloki @Triplefox @Savagejen @alexduf will pay proper attention to this after I knock off from work <3 thank you
@maloki hey, I've been a bit active on the github since I started hosting this (social.wxcafe.net) instance, and I'd like to get maintainer access to tag the issues and answer to/close some of them
@wxcafe Hi, I don't even have a github account, but I'll put you in touch ;)
What's your github accname?
@wxcafe doen!
@asherwolf there's translations: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/master/docs/Contributing-to-Mastodon/Translating.md
bug triage: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues
Hosting your own server, and probably other things, like fixing bugs, reporting bugs etc.
@Gargron (for what it's worth, I'm findnig mastodon delightful. Thank you for your work.)
@asherwolf @Savagejen @Gargron Base in #Estonia and use preferable tax from startups.
@asherwolf I'm totally wondering if this is where I should go down :D
@asherwolf I can't word appreantly :D
@asherwolf At the moment it seems they are working voluntary on a project that is FOSS. I would assume the first person they'd hire is themselves, can they even afford to do that?
@asherwolf @Gargron I think he's just one dude, not like a company that's got backing.
