MODERATORS
I would be happy to donate, however I would like to be differentiated from users who haven’t donated. Maybe with a status symbol, some thing like a blue checkmark beside my name perhaps?
I'm almost too afraid to ask, is this intentional irony?
yes, one of the .world donations tiers ($8) specifically says that you will be allowed to put a blue check mark next to your name, but also that you’re already allowed to do that lol
Had me in the first half, ngl.
Poe's law - without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.
On that note, I think a post view limit would be good too. Maybe 10 posts a day for accounts who haven't donated and 100 for those who have?
sounds like twitter to me
Nah, I don’t care. I don’t wear a gold star to basketball when I sweep the court, bring the pennies, or we use my ball - it’s part of being able to play.
Could I stand up my own instance? Yes. Do I want that headache? Fuck no. I’ll chip in any time my instances think they’ll need the cash. It’s what a community does.
Oh and, for the record, Fuck Spez. I’m never giving that money grubbing whore a single cent.
I was being completely sarcastic.
Fuck u/Spez
I've seen the idea of a "reddit gold" being thrown around - eg you pay to get a post or comment a different color or effect and the money goes to the instance admins
As long as it doesn't boost the comment in any way. Paying to make a comment more visible doesn't sit well with me.
I think that awards would be cool. People on Reddit seemed to really liked it.
Calckey has that. And so do other Fediverse alternatives.
It'd be nice to have some flair or a shiny object to showcase contributions to the funding effort. And something really simple would be excellent.
