To answer my questions:

  • according to the payment receipt, EUR were converted to USD (at 1.085)
  • for EUR 10, the processing fees were $0.78, so $10.07 was paid out.

So switching to USD from next month.

The link to all three donation platforms they support/use is linked from the donation page that I linked in this post.

I've had a closer look at Liberapay after whay you said. It seems they don't take any cut at all. Liberapay itself is funded through donations. However, there are of course fees for the payment processor.

They also seem to accept several currencies, now I wonder which of these results in the most money in the devs pockets. The default seems to be USD, so maybe that? But could be the default because most people will prefer paying in USD.

Edit: hm, seems one of the two gets their payout in USD, the other in EUR...so I guess these are the currencies that work best.

The point is that Alphv is an operator of ransomware as a service (RaaS), specifically BlackCat, independent of whether they used ransomware in this specific attack (which it indeed doesn't sound like).

No. If Reddit would negotiate with them, they'd probably leak small subsets as proof that they have actual data that isn't available publicly. But with no negotiations, there's not really any need for that.

I like both Tusky and the official Mastodon app. They're a bit different, but both work equally well for me. I actually have and use both because I literally can't decide for one over the other.

On Reddit, you also have r/memes and r/meme (and many other similar ones). I think there are r/woo(oooo)sh subs with between 2-6 os. But in both cases one has vastly more users than the other(s), and most people probably only know about the most popular one.

So yea, over time one of these tech communities on Lemmy will probably be much bigger than the others, and grow faster because it's the biggest and thus most attractive.

Sure, they could go find new people who do this job for free (and thanks to the API changes virtually tool-less) or hire people to do it for them. Whether those people will be equally successful in nurturing their communities, who knows.

But it's definitely an option and probably only a matter of time before it happens.

Oh, you're right...except one downvote seems enough, no upvotes necessary

[–] red@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

You can also see the up and down votes individually right next to the respective arrows to up or down vote

But these are not shown in all cases for some reason, I think. Probably some logic on the server, not the app, though
