So, as a new Rexxitor (love the new term, BTW), I’m thinking that we need to give back a little bit, considering the additional server costs (which are substantial; I’m an IT admin so trust me the costs are a bit ridiculous!). This is a link to the Patreon account for Lemmy.world. Let’s give back if we can and, hopefully, we can improve performance when posting, reading, etc. It may also help if Lemmy.world could provide a payment alternative where our credit cards don’t get flagged when we try to set up payment via Opencollective or Patreon in the U.S.
Let’s get rid of that little circle when posting…
Thanks for considering!
Thanks for the clarification. I still chose to set up a Patreon for $5.00 a month, because I think that hosting a Lemmy instance is worthwhile. I also think that Rexxitors may want to commit to that because, if the idiots in charge of Reddit had asked for that in the first place, none of this would have happened in the first place IMO… I still encourage those who like what they see at Lemmy to “pay it back”…
I know we didn’t just leave twitter but $8 seems like a more symbolic slap in the face of an evil CEO… 😆
If i’m shelling out that much a month i better get something amazing in return, like a meaningless blue dot next to my name or something
How dare you. You also get the satisfaction and bragging rights of the blue dot. And knowing your supporting the man who gutted the original worthwhile blue dot. How would that not be enough for you?
