I'm engaging with dozens of servers and hundreds of creators on lemmy, and I'd like to give back to more of them. I built a tool a few years ago called subless(subless.com) which aimed to do something similar for the non-federated internet, and I'd like to make something for the Fediverse too.

Do you think donations should be distributed like content?

I threw together a survey that would really help me understand how y'all are thinking about donations. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could fill it out.

Thanks!

I think that each magazine should have a related store where people can sell goods that are related to the content threads and the people that are running the servers would get a cut of the proceeds.

You can even use the new instant bank transfer system in America to pay for it and cut MasterCard and Visa out of the process.

I feel like that would be a good way to both fund the fediverse and to sell goods and services, however we should also have strict policies about not advertising the stuff you have for sale and instead remind people from time to time that if they have an idea for Merch or have some merch they want to buy that's related they can go to the store page for this magazine.
