Goddamn, I thought it was cheaper! I donate already to my instance and dev but I'll throw what I can your way too.

We keep a blog but it's way overdue....

Hugely understandable. It's so much rougher than people think for a small project to maintain a consistent blog. Thank you for the posts you do have!

Can you promote this link to the body of the post instead of buried in a comment?

I figured it would be a decent amount. I set up a recurring payment via Patreon ages ago and I’m glad I did. My $5 USD/mo isn’t going to change the world, but I hope it helps.

Sorry for late comment. I think displaying some kind of goal per month could be helpful to motivate donations.

It seems like that page might not be taking into account income from other platforms though; it estimates the annual budget as being €4,000, despite the official monthly budget (as listed on their Mastodon blog as of last September) being €1,700.

I recommend writing a log of donations. Then you can look at where you donated, when and how much, and remind yourself of where you want to send money again.

Now, I am pretty lazy. So it's just my_donations.txt, open with Vim and whip out that calculator. Should probably be a spreadsheet instead. I don't know if Calc let's me do math based on key (place of donation).
I guess I could have separate columns per key (to maintain log nature), then do subtotal per key to specific cells, then grand total from those cells.
Still begs the question of how I would do that per year.
Sperate columns each year?
Just make range selection at the end of year?
To be honest, I never actually used any spreadsheet software. I suppose there might be some logic, if so, there sure would be a way to check the date column on same row as amount.

But anyway, Vim + calculator. 👍

I would recommend reconsidering Wikipedia (ie. the Wikimedia foundation) since they have large reserves of money and their fundraising is misleading.

Wikipedia editors even sort of had a „revolt“ against the foundation because of the misleading fundraising banners.

There's a brief account of their finances on the linked blog post in the OP

I don’t know how I feel about someone whose mom prefers me to stay “through breakfast.”

Sure! It'll be a tuta mail address. What timezone are y'all targeting for collab?

Hey, are you still looking for moderators at Lemmy, or are you covered? Interested, because It could be another way to help.

That's where I got the IBAN from. You link this in your sidebar but not this post.

Maybe a stupid question but how would be Ko-Fi preferable to a simple recurring SEPA transfer to anybody in the SEPA region? Bank to bank is as straightforward as it gets, never any fees,...

Huh ?! tnx @ Ruud maybe add this link to the main post? this one doesn't require email etc (I used the Kofi link already).

Does using KoFi make accounting easier for you compared to direct transfer? Otherwise I'd highly recommend putting that bunq.me link way up there as well.

Just wired €10 🍀

Unfortunately my crypto wallet don't support transfers to this currency.

Fuckin' awesome! <3

Thanks!

done thanks.

Most if not all of the donation services allow you to use Paypal though. Ko-Fi does for sure.

No

Shitbag

Thanks, donated

For some reason I couldn't remember "IBAN" 😀

OP got banned from the US news community because they made some pretty controversial statements and (from their personal PoV) questioned if MAGA cult followers exist. That's the only community on LW they got banned from, cited as being for "rage baiting / trolling", which yeah it very well could be, even with a benefit of doubt.

But that's hardly an echo chamber. It's just one community, and moderators are typically completely unaffiliated with the server and can pick and enforce their own rules, nothing stops them from making or joining another US news comm. They even boasted that blocking that comm made their feed better, so it's not like they wanted to be there either.

I didn't use this post. It was a week ago I clicked on the link on the top screen that said "donate to Lemmy.". I don't know exactly who the picture was, but I could recognize it as a left-wing revolutionary. It was that Spanish dude with a beard...Chavez I think. The picture was on Patreon and I think Librapay.

I'm not necessarily against him or left wing revolutionaries, but it felt like something the mods on News would use. After I thought about, I realized that whoever set up this instance probably controls the popular left wing communities. I would if I set up a website.

I don't know the history of the person in the picture, but it's commonly used by extremists. If I see that profile picture on Reddit, it means I'm about to read a comment from someone who thinks Bernie Sanders is a far-right capitalist.

i dunno maybe if the admins... oh wait they told me i'd be banned if i publicized their little whatsit so nevermind.
