Tomorrow a new month starts and currently we are still ~€600 short for the upcoming server, media storage and email bills that are coming in 18 days

It's still 18 days but it worries me a lot, if you can please think about helping us out 🫶

I am not on any of your instances, however I did boost your post and hope it will reach more people.

Stux, my love, the Fediverse has a freeloading problem that is going to have to be addressed. It's not sustainable.

It's time for *all* instances to start telling their members if they don't give at least $5 a month, their account will be suspended, and 30 days after that, it will be deleted.

There is nobody who can afford internet access that can't afford $5 a month.

(If someone is REALLY in bad shape they can apply for a *temporary* deferment from donating.)

dude, I can't wait to ship the Pixelfed and Loops monetization features, those will directly fund admins like you!

I know that running an instance isn't cheap. Minimum membership fee should really be the way forward.

How many instance members were happy to pay Elon for a stupid blue tick I wonder?

£$€5.00 per month isn't an unreasonable membership fee. Maybe give a discount for 6 or 12 month advanced payments, if you're feeling generous.

Maybe if someone is really in hard times then deal with that on a case by case basis.

If they are trustworthy they can be a volunteer moderator to help out?

Ik wil je graag maandelijks gaan steunen (je doet gewoon goed werk) bij welke van je opties komt het meeste (qua percentage) bij jou terecht?

I have now automated the monthly payment I already did, directly to your Bunq account.
in reply to stux⚡️

Done via Kofi. I'm assuming you prefer I don't use Open Collective? I tried to use Bunq, but got an error message. For "reasons" I would rather chew off my arm than create a Paypal account. <g> Hopefully the Kofi Tip worked. I've never used that before.
