Does Lemmy actually have a mechanism in order to support itself/instances via anonymous donations?

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's all done and organized through the owners and managers of the instance you are on. Go onto the main community or main page of your instance and look up the owners and managers of the instance, most of them have a section directing users on how and where to donate or contribute.

We have to normalize donating to these services ... otherwise, they just get lost all over again because the owners can't keep paying for things out of their pocket that others enjoy for free.

Would it be through Monero, tho? It is important that people can pay for stuff without linking their payment to their identity/themselves and all their content

Lots of ways of getting payments through ... you could even just buy a $50 visa gift card, then just use that to send payment through to someone ... I know people aren't wealthy ... I even have a hard time justifying giving some myself .. but I do budget myself about $100 a year to give to all the open source, freeware, patreon, subscription stuff to support the people that maintain, manage and create all the sites, services and software that I want to support ... I give to Wikipedia, Ubuntu, some other Linux distros I like, LibreOffice, some independent apps I like and now to Lemmy and the software developers that make it all possible ... if we don't support stuff like this .. then it all just eventually erodes away and gets sold off like everything before it.

Right, obviously Lemmy/kbin will want to look at settting up the standards so this is easy and ensures people aren't doxxing themselves when they financially contribute to their respective sub-communities
