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:

Ko-Fi‬ (Preferred because of low fees)
Liberapay
PayPal
Patreon
OpenCollective
Bunq

And for those wanting to donate crypto:

Cardano address: addr1v9qv6xvfwcx9ny56uag4umu6238sw2e7ff2kcxl3qe7p9esayjxgu

Thank you!

[Edit] Some of the links were broken, they should now all work! [Edit 20240314: Added Liberapay]

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.

I think Reddit gold can be benign, but let's not exploit FOMO plz. That's how we got loot boxes and micro payments.

How to do "Reddit gold" on Lemmy, in a non-exploitive and ethical way? That would be the rub.

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.

Great point, this will happen instantly.

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.

I would say, through activity, not through paying. Then for activity they will get rewarded.
