@chrismessina So they're copying reddit.
Not a bad idea... It would be nice if mastodon had a creator tip jar thingy but not sure i want coins, keep it "real" currency somehow.

@olavf @chrismessina yeah, just something easily integrated if people want to show the support.. social signals are weird.. would love creators to have something that shows they're finding support on their network of choice but we don't seem to want that. That's where coins really shine on systems like reddit @supernovae @olavf @chrismessina Wouldn't be hard to each instance to have their own strip and earn say 3% or some random number for being the marketplace and pay out 94% to creator after card fees... could be a way for instances to help cover costs and build a market but yeah.. lots of work :D @supernovae @chrismessina I did some poking and not even talking about s/w we're talking a total clusterf. @olavf @chrismessina monetization through invasive and privacy busting ads is much different than people paying for things they enjoy. |

@chrismessina some folks use buymeacoffee or ko-fi who are less bad than Patreon, etc.
