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.
