I am very happy to finally be able to announce this. We are working hard (you can’t imagine) to secure funding to continue to improve Mastodon, and are very grateful that amazing organisation like Sovereign Tech Agency (npub1yng…nhrk) invest in open-source, and especially Mastodon.
Developing open-source software is hard (and it is not becoming easier) and quality software requires a lot of hard work. Our team is growing and we are delivering more polished features than ever, and we continue to try to push it further
We’re happy to share that Mastodon has been awarded a service agreement from the Sovereign Tech Fund Sovereign Tech Agency (npub1yng…nhrk) 🎉
This covers five major initiatives through 2026 and 2027. We are very grateful for this support. Read about the details in our blog post.
