Instead of paying for a Mastodon host so I can have my username be at a custom domain (I'm a parent to a toddler, so I don't have the time or brain capacity to self-host), I decided to set up a recurring donation at https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors#donate instead as if I'm paying mastodon.social for my hosting (which I sort of am now).
