If I wasn't trying to save every dollar I had to afford food, I'd shoot it all your way. Especially with all the posting I've done here and hosting I've taken up. Might not be able to do anything myself but I've got some friends who probably can and who might owe me a favor. Sandblasting this across my friendslist.

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’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.

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?

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

https://www.patreon.com/mastodonworld/redeem/f/E235F16A97

Edit: Downvoting support for the fediverse?

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

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

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"?

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

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?

Done.

I have doubled my donation!

This platform needs more political and thought diversity, as of now it's far-left only. I will donate when rational discussion happens without promoting political violence.

I've setup a monthly contribution on GH. Only 10AUD/month sorry but it is sustainable for me.

I use Linux, Docker, etc, professionally all day every day and can lend at least few hours a month to technical help if you want. Also happy to moderate some communities if they are lacking (I love power trips /s). I don't use any social media outside of Lemmy (Abandoned Reddit completely, and have no interest in Facebook, Twitter, etc).

Thanks for the hard work everyone.

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!

Happy to help, I made a donation.

Despite the spamming, the banned guy's comment is right.
Not giving a cent to censorship and genocide collaborators.

Is there a bottom limit for bank transfer, below which they would not be profitable? Can I set up a monthly payment for, for example, 1 or even 0,25€?

I am sorry for being poor

E: I have donated 2 euro

Why are users going down? Is the fediverse in danger?

Donated. Hope to see the project continue well into the future.
