We need to grow our annual operating budget to €5 million in 2025.

What for?

How many active users are going to be served by mastodon.social and mastodon.online? Is the infrastructure being provided by the companies counted as part of this budget?

How many more users are going to join the Mastodon network of servers thanks to the missing features that are planned to be released this year?

Surprised to see you of all people question why a project needs money to pay for things.

What for?

They said what for in the previous section, improving Mastodon's "usability, discoverability, and trust & safety". They tried to fundraise for a head of trust and safety last month, but failed. My impression is this is them trying to raise general donations to the project to pay for things like this, instead of individual campaigns for individual things.

Is the infrastructure being provided by the companies counted as part of this budget?

I thinks so, given the previous paragraph links to their sponsor page and says as such.

People aren't going to donate for unimportant things.
