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
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.
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
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.
