Do you like ChapoChat? Do you want to see it grow? Consider making a small donation to our Liberapay. Servers ain't cheap, but whether it's $1/week or $1/month, even the smallest of donations can go a long way!

While you are at it, please also consider donating to the upstream project. Both @dessalines and @nutomic are currently working full time on bringing federation support to Lemmy, which will allow us to interact with other Lemmy instances.

    Can we have some sort of transparency report on how much money you guys need? Right now people are donating like $300 a month. What sort of goals do we need to reach?

          I think we have enough proud comrades to spread the word by mouth, and if they aren't willing to do that, we're fucking up somewhere. We don't need to give our money to these VC funded pieces of shit.

      How much is an average meal at taco bell? Times that by the amount of mods there are and that's the daily budget.

    You should put a button on the page that says "pay with bitcoin" but if anyone clicks it they get redirected to a wall of text that calls them out for being a libertarian tool

        What if we invented money, but it directly contributed to climate catastrophe? :this-is-fine:

            monero is seriously useful and we should normalize using it on the left. the feds are going to start cracking down on currency transfers to leftists like... yesterday. it's not a store of value, don't treat it like a stock. buy it, spend it, stay safe.

          Ethereum will be moving to proof of stake soon. Not every cryptocurrency uses archaic proof of work.

    Lemmy dev here, I'm very happy that you picked our software. We are hard at work on federation. If everything goes well, then in a few months you might be able to interact from within chapo.chat directly with posts on dev.lemmy.ml (so you can post, vote and comment there, and people on dev.lemmy.ml will see it). That is, if we decide federation with chapo is a good idea lol.

    I thought the Patreon was taken down?

      It was, but it's back up. However, I still recommend you favor LiberaPay over Patreon, for the reasons listed in the video I linked above. (I'd link it again, but I'm on mobile.)

    hopefully, we could give some of the earnings overflow of the liberapay/patreon to the OG devs, once server costs have been paid

    why is there a lemmy that looks like chapo and a .chat that looks like chapo? consolidate the chapos.
