did any of you look into who these VCs are who just allowed half a million dollars of their money to flow into the fediverse? surprised I haven't seen anyone talking about this yet.

@liaizon great, they're up to something and we get to find out what
@crispycat the mystery must be uncovered!
So $500,000 from Pace Capital goes to:
Mastodon (in the announcement is says they get $300,000 of it) so that leaves $200,000 split between:
Ivory
Tapestry
mstdn.social
A New Social
PeerTube
BookWyrm
Akkoma
Fedify
Which is $25,000 each if it's devided evenly
@liaizon it would quiet funny for bookWyrm getting VC money https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/blob/main/LICENSE.md
@liaizon Akkoma got $10k on OpenCollective a few weeks ago; so definitely not divided evenly
Ah interesting so @fedify made an announcement post https://hollo.social/@fedify/0199c1dd-6516-76b0-b9cc-de19aaff8d3b
And they are getting $500 a month donated to their open collective. Gotta love the transparency here
https://opencollective.com/altstore1 is public so you can see it there. Tho it seems Fedify is the only one they are using open collective to donate to
thanks to @domi for pointing it out, they donated 10k to Akkoma from this account: https://opencollective.com/altstore
@liaizon@social.wake.st what?? They do that?
