About mastodon.scot

mastodon.scot is administered by volunteers based in Scotland. Our primary servers are located in Germany, with backup infrastructure in Scotland. These are shared resources that also power mas.to.

We currently have 140 processor threads, 550GB memory and 46TB of primary storage available.

Donations

We run mastodon.scot as a free service because we love Mastodon, but it costs us lots of money! If you'd like to donate towards our running costs you can contribute by buying Trumpet a donut. Or lots of donuts! Trumpet loves donuts.

The current recurring monthly costs for our shared infrastructure total £964.57, including:

• Server hosting - £638.17
• CDN/object storage - ~£250.00 (variable)
• Mail delivery - £26.40
• Backup infrastructure - £50

Our current monthly donation income (before processing fees and charges) is £1,084.20.

Moderation

Moderation of this server is carried out by our volunteer moderators on a best-efforts basis, based on interpretation of content posted to the server against our published rules.

We subscribe to the IFTAS pledge against targeted misgendering and deadnaming in the Fediverse.

We’re working with Gaza Verified to welcome and provide a safe space for Palestinians.
