@kyva Pace Capital just invested 6 million in AltStore and then AltStore "donated" .5 mil of that to the fediverse

@liaizon @kyva I'm not sure why donated is in quotes.

@Gargron @kyva is the whole of the 300k that mastodon gets 100% a donation? Like the hosting and customization of their instance is being payed for seperately?

@liaizon @Gargron @kyva yes, the donation is entirely separate from what we’re paying them for their managed hosting service (but I’ll admit that’s something we could’ve made more clear)

@rileytestut @Gargron @kyva wow thats amazing, thank you for the clarification! I was trying to figure out the split between what was donated to all the other fedi projects, and I saw on Open Collective you gave 10k to Akkoma and 500 monthly to Fedify. Are the other amounts public somewhere?

@liaizon @Gargron @kyva we’re generally leaving it up to each recipient to decide if they want to disclose the amount, but A New Social mentioned in their blog post we donated 20k to them 🙂 https://blog.anew.social/altstore-a-new-social/

@Gargron @kyva donated is in quotes because VCs don't usually give away money out of the goodness of their hearts. I am happy to see mastodon get money, and I think AltStore and the announcement are awesome. But VC money is VC money regardless so it's important to uncover exactly what's going on here
