There's some unrest because the Open Collective Foundation is stopping.

Don't worry, we use Open Collective Europe as a donations platform, they're going nowhere.

We've added some donation platforms, so if you would like to support us running our .world servers, you can do so here:

And for those wanting to donate crypto:

  • Monero address: 83tnuFN4f28jRxTBW9qGDad2U23qNE5nfeW4Pfyd85oWMW7J9gqpXi3S8FDbX5uEeCAKcGnSpS2XT5dGwYiELthg8XuDrxH
  • Cardano address: addr1v9qv6xvfwcx9ny56uag4umu6238sw2e7ff2kcxl3qe7p9esayjxgu

Thank you!

Reddit gold was such a great method of voluntary monetization. It'd be great if Lemmy would support something like that (although there are a ton of caveats.)

I had a $30/year subscription to Reddit for more than a decade.

    The real danger isn't on Lemmy.World, where I think the money would go where intended. The real danger is incentivizing people to spin up small instances in the hopes of collecting.

    That won't work. I have 340k users on my servers and it just covers the running cost. So with a 100 user instance you would get peanuts.

    I guess the cross server implementation would be difficult. If you buy credits on lemm.ee, and gild a lemmy.ml user, who honors it to... not show you ads?

    I guess it's mostly just a decoration thing to support the comment/post and the server. Still, which server displays which awards could get thorny.

    Would any form of crypto donations be interesting as well? Personally a great fan of Monero.

    How are you covering cash into crypto without paying bonkers fees? I tried to do it via coinbase and the fees are insane. Fuck that.

    You can use exchanges like Coinbase Advanced Trading and Kraken Pro to interact directly with the order book. They use the standard maker/taker model. 0.6% for takers on Coinbase Advanced Trading and 0.26% for takers on Kraken Pro. You can use "market" orders if all you want is a buy button and a sell button

    Which one of the platforms do you all get more money? I want to donate but I know each of the services get a cut.

    Thanks for running this. I donated as long as i was able to, but had to stop recently due to my personal financial situation.

    Are there any plans to use Liberapay? All of the donation platforms above don't support my home currency while Liberapay does

    Is there any preference for y’all on Opencollective vs Patreon? I would us Ko-Fi but not in a place right now to do $5/month, and that seems to be the minimum.
