A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It would be neat for Lemmy to have something like it. It's a great way to self fund in an engaging way.
There probably needs to be a foundation or something that can distribute funds to instances though to prevent heavy consolidation by way of simple popularity based funding 🤔
Just no. We already have a money raising method https://opencollective.com. This is how you donate to Beehaw and others.
So go donate and stop free loading if you have not already done so. The challenge is of course that free loading is so much fun.
My beef with them is it gives a comment an artificially high "vote" which tends to dominate the discussion (people feel it's a higher quality comment point), even if the content on its own doesn't merit it.
