We are happy to announce that [@upcloud](https://glitchy.upcloud.world/@upcloud ) is now sponsoring our nonprofit and instance. Since we moved to an association and co-managed structure, we no longer run on @npub1zdf…6u9l's personal Hetzner account. We have started migrating to UpCloud's ultra-fast Helsinki servers with newer hardware. This will improve performance, speed, and future-proof our infrastructure.
Below you can see our preliminary migration plan. Most servers can be migrated in the background with no visible changes, but we will schedule extra maintenance windows for things that require attention and downtime. We will give you plenty of notice in advance so you can prepare. You can subscribe to status updates at https://status.mementomori.social
We will share more details about the sponsorship later. UpCloud is a European, sovereign cloud infrastructure provider that offers high-performance cloud servers on an hourly billing basis for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) at https://upcloud.com

On behalf of the board, thank you again for your incredible and heartwarming support. Our sustainability as a nonprofit and as a Mastodon instance is fully secured, with no burden on our admins or users.
Exciting and even bigger things are on the way - we will share the timeline and details at a later date. Here is a hint: thanks to our sponsors, we can optimize things even further. To be continued...

We have a chatroom on Matrix, which is an open source end-to-end encrypted messaging platform. It is federated like Mastodon, with different instances. We do not currently provide an open Matrix instance for others than admins (this might change in the future), but there are plenty of instances to choose from.
The room is invite-only for members, but we can send you an invite link.
Here is how to get in:
1. Create an account on an instance. Here are some options: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/hosting/ or for Finnish speakers: https://www.pikaviestin.fi/
2. Once you have a user account, update your Matrix ID in your profile here: https://members.mementomori.social/matrix
3. Let us know or wait for an invite.
Remember to install Element or Fluffychat on your phone so you have member discussions with you everywhere. See you there!

Nonprofits exist for specific reasons. Usually, they exist to meet social needs and promote the common good, rather than generate financial profit for their owners.
Nonprofit organizations fulfill several important roles in society:
- Addressing market and government failures: The government provides services to the general public or the masses, but it is not always able to address the needs of small, specific groups.
- Market failures: Companies operate where it is possible to make a profit. Nonprofit organizations step in when those in need cannot afford to pay for services.
- Community and support: Helping the disadvantaged: Nonprofits provide food assistance, shelters, and crisis support.
- Peer support: These initiatives bring together people who have similar life experiences.
- Recreational activities: A large number of sports clubs and cultural associations operate on a nonprofit basis to make participating in these activities as affordable as possible.
These are all the very reasons why Mementomori ry exists. Those who have the means to become members can join, but the instance is here for everyone.
We promote open, European, natural, completely tracking-free social media where you own your data.

Happy to say that mementomori.social is now fully self-sufficient, with membership fees covering all our costs. Thank you for making a difference. Let's keep this the best instance we can possibly offer and keep things running for as long as we mortals draw breath.

2026-08-20 19:21:07 UTC

We reached a milestone of 40 members in our non-profit association today! A warm welcome to everyone!
Thank you so much, everyone, for the overwhelming support. We are truly in awe :meow_love: :blobcatmeltcry:

All membership features are opt-in. You can find your consent settings on the member portal's front page and under your profile settings.
Please note: Public consent has been disabled by default for everyone from the start, but it wasn't visible during registration so those who want it enabled might have missed it. No action is needed, but if you'd like to have your name displayed here - https://members.mementomori.social/members - you can opt in by checking the box.

As a non-profit organization we are committed to being as open and supportive as possible. This means that all the code we write and every technique we use are open source and publicly available. Everything related to our members and the way we run the organization and server is also out in the open.
We are not driven by profit. Our only purpose is to ensure the sustainability of our shared goals, such as keeping the instance up and running, rather than putting them in the hands of one person.
As an instance, we are very open-minded and liberal. We do not align ourselves with any political party. Instead, we base the way we operate on safe-space principles and decent human values. We support open bridges and protocols and we do not tolerate extremism or harm of any kind. Harassing people for not using alt text or for using AI is not acceptable to us. Hate increases hate, so we try to respond with kindness. Mementomori.social's number one rule is: Be kind. That principle also extends to our association.
That being said, in the interest of openness, we do use some GenAI-assisted coding. We refrain ourselves from usin GenAI for art, whether visual or musical, in case we ever need those things.
Our official rulebook states that we encourage and support the ethical social web. To us, this means building in public with open source and supporting an open, non-commercial, user-centered social media, the fediverse.

Now that we have our animated gradient version of our logo, would you be interested in holographic stickers that have a similar effect when you show them off?

2026-08-18 07:48:47 UTC

Did you know you can pay your yearly membership fee monthly, which costs just €5 per month?
We are very close to our initial membership goal and pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming support. A warm thank you to everyone so far.
We are happy to say the association already has 34 members in just 3 days. We welcome you all just the way you are. :party_skull:

We now have 24 members, and we are happy about the launch so far 🐱 Our goal of making sign up as easy as possible was clearly a success. It takes only a couple of clicks to become a member. There is no bureaucracy, overly complicated manual processing, or paperwork from the board either.
We will continue posting about our nonprofit, and we still have some goals to reach before we are fully self-sufficient. But we will get there, slowly but surely. Perhaps even faster than expected.
Thank you for helping to make our instance sustainable.

Lyhyesti: Mementomori ry on uusi voittoa tavoittelematon yhdistys, joka on perustettu mementomori.social Mastodonia ja sen muiden palveluiden pyörittämistä varten (chat.mementomori.social chattipalvelu (Matrix), help.mementomori.social tukisivusto jne.). Hallituksessa istuu @npub1zdf…6u9l, @npub17cz…c8xe ja @npub1vfx…slx9. Jäseneksi voi liittyä jos haluaa tukea somepalvelua ja osallistua taloudellisesti kustannuksiin (5€/kk tai 60€/vuosi). Jäsen saa käyttöönsä jäsenportaalin, sometunnuksen ja pääsyn keskustelukanavalle. Jäsenyys ei ole pakollista, somepalvelun ja muidenkin palveluiden tarjoaminen jatkuu ilmaisena 👍

2026-08-15 18:41:14 UTC

The website is fresh out of the oven, and although we tested it throughout the evening, it might contain bugs or edge cases (you never know). Please let us know if you have trouble signing up, paying, or anything else - we will help! Send us a message or email at [email protected].
Verkkosivusto on vasta valmistunut, ja vaikka testasimme sitä koko illan ajan, aina löytyy jotain pientä. Kerro siis meille, jos sinulla on ongelmia rekisteröitymisessä, maksamisessa tai missä tahansa muussa asiassa, autamme mielellämme! Saat apua lähettämällä meille viestiä täällä somessa tai sähköpostia osoitteeseen [email protected].

Membership sign-up is open and we are already getting great questions from you (might be worth starting a FAQ soon):
Can I register with my social media pseudonym or do I have to use my real name?
You need your legal name. Section 11 of the Finnish Associations Act requires that the membership roster includes each member's full name and place of residence, which means you have to use your official name on the application. This information is only visible to the board and never appears on the public membership list.
There is a separate field for your social media name. On your personal page, you can set a display name, and that is the name that will show to other members if you choose to be listed publicly in the membership roster. If you leave it blank, the name you used when applying for membership will be used instead.

The membership website is progressing nicely. You should be able to sign up as a Mementomori association member or patron soon enough.

Already decided: you can pay for your membership either monthly (5 €) or annually (60 €).
The current benefits include access to mementomori.social, our Matrix server at chat.mementomori.social, member chats, meeting attendance, and ongoing support from our services. Nothing extra yet - we are just getting started.
The main idea is to get support from members to cover our costs. Maybe we will offer more benefits down the road through member contributions, but we are still new to this.

Our costs are roughly 200 euros per month for a performance optimized, future-proof cluster, and we currently have about 1000 users. Since membership is optional, we do not expect even 10% to join as association members. If we get 40 members, we are covered. Of course, anything is subject to change and we can reconsider the membership fee later, especially if we get more members. Right now we have 3 members, which is us, the board (membership website in progress). @npub185q…wagx

Yes, according to voting procedures, the members will decide. The point, of course, is to cover server costs for this to make any sense. Although we will get sponsorships and plans to cover costs in case members cannot.

2026-07-23 12:25:44 UTC

Association Update: A board decision was made today regarding membership fees; the minimum is 5 euros per month (approximately 5.70 USD). Membership is not mandatory; mementomori.social will continue to be a free, public-interest service for everyone.
The members-only website and the membership sign-up process are currently being developed and will be available soon at https://members.mementomori.social

Hello, fediverse! :skull360:
We are Mementomori ry, the registered non-profit association that now runs and funds mementomori.social.
The instance is no longer backed by an individual, instead it is kept independent by its members, so the community owns its future.
Day to day nothing changes for you. Behind the scenes it now stands on solid, transparent footing.
More soon on our website.
