> To Renaud, Claire, and Eugen of the Mastodon developer team, who went above and beyond all expectations to help us out. You folks were amazing, you took our situation very seriously, and immediately jumped in to help us. I really could not have asked for anything more. Thank you!

I don't know if Vivaldi provides financial support to Mastodon (I couldn't find their name on the sponsors page). If not, I hope this situation causes them (and other companies using Mastodon) to consider sponsorship or a support contract.

We (the Mastodon non-profit) do not offer support contracts at the moment, but this is a good idea, thanks :)

But we indeed have sponsorships open, and they really have impact. Having full-time people working on the project is very impactful, but at the moment we only have 1 full-time developer in addition to Eugen (the founder) and a DevOps person on the technical side.

They aren't on https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors so probably not.

Well they provide the Mastodon federation with what seems to be a large instance and people working on it.
