    @Goldmaster the banner will still show (and can be easily dismissed with just a tap) if you already support us via Patreon - thanks for doing that, by the way - we don't make a connection between your account and Patreon or track you, so there's no way to premptively hide it. We hope it's only a small inconvenience.

    @Mastodon Can we pay in U.S. currency directly to Mastodon?

      @Mastodon Is there any reason why you are allowed to use the necessary data for marketing things? Is there any consent on https://mastodon.online and/or https://mastodon.social which allow you to act like that?

      @dnkrupinski @Mastodon

      Gute Frage. ePrivacy und DsGVO-konform soll es sein. Welche persönlichen Daten werden denn von den Nutzern verarbeitet?

        @rriemann Dauer der Anmeldung, genauer:

        "… if they are signed-in to an account on one of our instances, and only if their account has existed for four weeks or more… "

        Es wird also ausgewertet, auf welcher Instanz die nutzende Person aktivi ist und wie lange die Anmeldung her ist. Also mind. 2 Datenwerte, die hier "getrackt" werden.
        Für das Funktionieren der App oder die Funktionsfähigkeit der Instanzen sind beide Informationen nicht notwendig.

        (Da dies auch für andere Instanzen ausgeweitet werden soll, ist es also keine einmalige Einzelmaßnahme sondern möglicherweise auch periodisch nutzbar.)

        Dies war der Grund die #Mastodon-App zu löschen, denn es gibt genügend andere Apps.

          @rriemann Was dabei aus meiner Sicht **noch** schlechter ist:

          Da man die Anzeige leicht wegblenden können soll und sie im Nachgang auch nicht wieder erscheinen soll, muss ich auch noch tracken, welche nutzende Person die Meldung angezeigt bekommen hat und diese weggeklickt hat. Es sind also schon 3 Datenpunkte, die man benötigt, um das Ganze technisch umsetzen zu können:

          * Instanz,
          * Dauer seit Anmeldung auf der Instanz,
          * Banner bereits angezeigt.

            @dnkrupinski @rriemann we do not collect any data with this feature. This is all done client-side in our mobile apps (which are open source). The app knows your instance and sign up date (for your currently signed in account) because these are already part of the account data. It makes an anonymous API request to know if there is a campaign in progress. If so, the app gets some text to display. The only data collected is for the donation, if the user chooses to initiate a payment.

              @joeneXtra there is an account @staff that is specific for mastodon.social and mastodon.online; and @MastodonEngineering that is about the software. This account @Mastodon covers the project as a whole, and although this blog post refers to this campaign being visible to people who use our servers, the funding discussion is about the whole organisation. Apologies for any confusion. We aim to communicate about our plans, organisation, fundraising, as well as the software, as clearly as we can.

              @Mastodon @MastodonEngineering Thanks for the explaination. So please use next time the @staff account, because a funding campaign like this is not related to my and other servers.

                @joeneXtra @Mastodon @MastodonEngineering @staff

                It doesn't hurt to remind users from time to time that the server they're using has running costs that needs to be met. It's free advertising for other admins too and I expect they're grateful for it.

                I'm not in either of those servers but was interested to see this post and subsequent discussions. If it's restricted in future I'll be disappointed.
