Would the Beehaw community be interested in some pay-it-forward action? (beehaw.org)

Currently, we have $6,500.91 in our hopper.

It just seems weird having all of those, mostly, unused funds sitting there doing nothing.

I just wanted to start the conversation about the possibility of paying-it-forward in some capacity. For example, a certain percentage of monthly contributions could go to a charity.

What are your thoughts?

Does the lemmy project have a foundation like blender or godot? Might not be big enough

Some charity donations would be cool, maybe each month a different community could vote for a charity

Yeah but doesn't beehaw want to move away from Lemmy? Doesn't seem like it's in their best interest.

...behave want too nice away from Lemmy?

^^^ Brand new sentence!

We are discussing moving Beehaw off of the Lemmy platform, yes.

Hmm, maybe some forum platform would be a good alternative? I feel like the Reddit format of Lemmy focuses more on news, rather than the forum format which is more about deeper discussions... Just an idea.
