Currently, we have $6,500.91 in our hopper.
It just seems weird having all of those, mostly, unused funds sitting there doing nothing.
I just wanted to start the conversation about the possibility of paying-it-forward in some capacity. For example, a certain percentage of monthly contributions could go to a charity.
What are your thoughts?
I agree with everyone saying “donations are for running the server, use as intended”, although I like the idea of the tiny mod-team getting a small monthly stipend or something. Maybe consider adding “5% of donations are divided among the mods for coffee and therapy” to the donation info text? 🤔
A compromise, in regards to charity, could be a community-based effort of some sort — everyone votes to pick a quarterly charity, and it’s promoted as a stickied post:
“The Beehaw community has voted to support
X[insert charity] * for this quarter, please support it if you can”* Ugh, can’t believe fucking Elon ruined a whole letter, and one of the cool ones, at that 🤢
