I’m trying to understand who (and where) to donate to here.

The blog post talks about various costs for the Worlds communities - the highest of which is server costs, and one line item is for “Monthly contribution to the FHF”. Then below, the donation links say “As a reminder, you can donate to FHF here”. So are those links for donating only to FHF? The Patreon link goes to “Mastodon.world (Fedihosting Foundation)”.

Some clarity here would be helpful so it’s easy for folks to understand who needs donations and where they can help with that.

The spamming troll made me realize, we don't have any sort of posting limits? Limiting contributions to something humanly possible, like say, one every thirty seconds, would help cut down on that stuff. Maybe could base it on IP address, so multiple accounts couldn't be used to partially get around it?

Most people would never even realize the limit is there.

I've started evaluate all free (as in freedom) services to match my entertainment subscriptions (I.e. netflix) and this ended up being avg 5$/mo min wage for all free services that I use which is very reasonable expense. All things don't even add up to 100$/mo in my case and the value much outweighs that!

Bless be the foss priests 🙏

Can we avoid payment provider middleman fees with EU bank transfers?

I was laid off a few months ago, but once I'm up and running again, I'll drop some coin.

In the meantime, I would love to help on a technical level. I have docker experience, but limited and would love to relearn ansible since it has been a few years. Let me know how I can help!

The first 4 people who click this link will get a free membership to the fedihosting foundation patreon:

Edit: Downvoting support for the fediverse?

!taneggs@lemmy.ca proudly offers support. Pikas love grass roots!

Set up a recurring donation. Lemmy and Mastodon are great and I want them to stick around.

I see your preferred donation platform is euro based, do you get good $ to eu exchange? or shoul i go patreon?

I'm really confused by what link donates to who. Can you just give us a simple link that's like "click here to donate to lemmy.world"?

Done.

Question about BUNQ: There's this string that looks like an IBAN (NL78 BUNQ 2108 3219 85). If I send money using a recurring bank transfer to that, will it work? Will substantial fees be incurred as a result?

I have doubled my donation!

Hello. Is GitHub sponsor a good way to donate? Do all funds go to Fedihosting? Other link shows currency in Euros but I am in USA and want to donate $

Thanks!
