Mastodon Turbocharges Subscription Hopes, Kicks Open Web’s Door
In a welcome plot twist nobody saw coming, Mastodon, the open social web’s friendly neighborhood microblogging spinoff, announced brand-new hosting and support services aiming to make moo-lah instead of just moo. This venture rolls out in 2024, with hopes to fatten its wallet and beef up open internet vibes simultaneously. This means pesky things like paying for servers and support might finally turn into revenue streams, instead of endless volunteer caffeinated nights. Glowing Planet Earth might never be the same as Mastodon tries turning community love into coin — because who knew an Internet-wide hug could come with a service contract?
