a lot of patreon amounts are a little misleading because it looks like it's all going to one person but then you remember that person has staff to pay, etc

does eugen pay anyone anything or am i right that he just gets all that money

@monorail he pays a lot of people according to the opencollective expenses page

opencollective.com/mastodon/ex

mostly for code review

@monorail i don’t really know german law but now that mastodon Is A Nonprofit i feel like he might be required to publish more formally where the money is going, idk

@monorail in any case German law prohibits him from paying himself “extraordinarily high wages”, to the extent that donations to his patreon are considered payments to Mastodon gGmbH (which i think they are)

@monorail ofc this hardly matters because eugen is not going to be making a high wage for the world of tech regardless
