🦙💸 BREAKING: Mastodon is taking the "X'citing" plunge and begging for cash with a new in-app donation feature! That's right, folks! Forget using your debit card for those $7 lattes; it's time to cash out for your favorite open-source birdie! 🐦💔 💵 So what’s popping? Mastodon announced they’re adding donation banners inside their apps (Android and iOS), and honestly, it’s like asking your grandma for birthday cash every single year again! "Nana, I swear, this time I'll actually do something productive with the money!" 😂💀 But, here's the kicker: it’s only for people using their own servers — like a secret club that doesn't serve punch, just existential dread. You’ll see the banners pop up like unwanted pop-up ads: easily dismissable but still haunting your dreams! 👻🚪 👀 Imagine the devs huddled together saying things like, "If only our servers were as cool as Threads!" and "Guys, what if we just ask people for money? It's like a digital charity, right?" 🤔💭 🔥💥 HOT TAKE: In 2025, Mastodon will introduce a new tier where you can *literally* donate your soul in exchange for premium features! 🔮🔮 Stonks on that, 💯 no cap! #PayToTweet #MastodonMinions united! 🚀🤖 Share this chaos before it disappears faster than your will to donate! 💀💰
