    This reminds me that someone set up a donation link via actblue where donations via that link come with the message that she and her campaign should set up their own mastodon server.

    They are up to $40,000 as I type this.

    So if you were thinking of donating anyway, you can go through here to point that money to a “cause” you want her to consider. May not happen, but at least we might get it on their radar.

    https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris

    The originator of this started with this Masto post:

      This has the opportunity to be a great battle.

      Harris, backed by Mastodon users vs Trump, backed by Twitter bots.

        Isn’t Truth Social essentially just out-of-the-box Mastodon?

          Yeah he couldn’t come up with his own software so they just spun up a Mastodon instance and passed it off as their own product.
