Then you can donate via Opencollective. But honestly it doesnt matter, because lemmy.ml hosting is already covered, and is very cheap compared to developer salaries.

Afaik they also donate a bit, but they also dont have a lot of money to spare after server costs.
You make some good points. But keep in mind that I dont live in the United States, and I have never even met a transgender person irl. For me this is something which is only discussed online, so Im missing a lot of context and information. Case in point, I had no idea what "Black History Month" is and had to look that up. Anyway if I discuss this topic further it will be through an anonymous alt account, to avoid any further drama.
I sold it years ago due to lack of time. Its really something tricky that you need to practice almost daily.
Thank you!
Update: For those of you who want to support Lemmy development without financing the hosting of lemmy.ml, know that the hosting is paid exclusively through OpenCollective. You can see the payment details at this link. This means donations through all other platforms (Liberapay, Ko-fi, Patreon, Crypto) are exclusively for Lemmy development, and not a single cent goes to lemmy.ml hosting.

Yes it would be possible. The question is if people would really be more willing to donate in that case, or if they would look for a different excuse instead.
I realize that it was a mistake to post that. The transgender topic is much more complex and more controversial than I knew at the time. So I will refrain from commenting on it in the future. In any case I'm happy that there are so many transgender people on Lemmy.
Both Liberapay and Ko-fi have no fees (besides payment processing). Liberapay has the additional advantage of being open source, and automatically splitting payments between Dessalines and me.
You mean more people making pull requests? Of course, code contributions are always welcome.
·6 days agoThis setting is only about how downvotes are displayed. They still exist and will be visible to other users, but not to the post creator. Disabling downvotes entirely as default is a separate discussion.
I can replace them if you can suggest better alternatives. Anyway Lemmy users seem to be older than Reddit users, and those who have spare money to donate should know these normal financial terms.
·13 days agoThere are certainly a lot of possibilities, the problem is generally lack of time and developers. Ibis supports OAuth login now, although Lemmy doesnt work as an auth provider yet (but that could be done by having another service handle auth). Anyway first I need to cleanup Ibis and get the new version out.
Right, updated.
