@aphyr @jume right, obviously this is not paying for sysadmin time like you would pay at a company.

100/mo for hosting seems about right to me, and yeah legal stuff is a whole other ball of wax. On Friend Camp we have ~50% of our active users averaging $3/mo, though some people give $1/mo and some people give like $10/mo. The other half of our active users don't donate, but it works out

@darius @jume That's good to know! One of the things I'm trying to do this month (once I get our LLC set up) is figure out how we're actually going to take donations. Libera.pay and the other crowdfunding mechanisms seem to use Stripe for processing, but Stripe's ToS say you need special approval to use it for crowdfunding and their sales team won't get back to me. :-/

@aphyr @jume yeah I just use patreon because I took a poll and most people already had a patreon account they could pay through.

I wonder if this is crowdfunding though? like... it's people paying for a service, seems pretty straightforward

@darius Not really sure! I think they may actually be talking about if I wanted to *operate* a crowdfunding site, rather than *use* one. Same goes for Patreon--we gotta get Stripe or Paypal set up first. Can't wait to get banned when they find out we're gaaaaay.
