      You can make anything terrible with enough money.

    This is promising. But I assume this means Mastodon has a long, hard road ahead. Raising money as a non-profit can be tricky and slow compared with tech VC money. I’m hopeful they’ll find ways to get get large, long-term funding that can support their continued evolution.

    That seems the only ethical move left. 🤔
