Fedi.Tips ๐ŸŽ„

p.s. As some people asked: the reason I post about donations once a month is because the bills for the sites come in once a month.

Almost all donations happen when I do a post about the donation options available, so that's why I post the options once a month.

I don't get any kind of grant or support from any organisations. It's entirely down to me to make sure the sites operate. Any kind of help is greatly appreciated!

@feditips indeed the trigger to my donations is without exception a post on the topic. Thanks for bringing this up once a month. We are spoiled with โ€™freeโ€™ socials, so still necessary to remind us to contribute for true free socials!

p.p.s. Just for maximum transparency, as this hasn't come up before: I don't take any money or anything else from companies. I've occasionally received offers to pay for promotion, but turned them all down.

I don't think people want info accounts or info sites like fedi.tips to turn into product shilling systems. That's another reason for the donation links, to keep the sites and accounts independent and focused just on the needs of Fediverse members.

@feditips Maybe you could come up with a simple way to help for us old folks - like, where to send a check in the mail

@WINGS_radio

Thanks for the thought, unfortunately my country doesn't use checks/cheques any more... ๐Ÿ˜ข

Any credit or debit card should work on the ko-fi link?

You don't have to register, you just fill in the form on the page. (I deliberately tried to choose a donation method that was as simple and easy as possible.)

@feditips can you tell me how to restrict posts that I can see to English language only? It's the only language I can comprehend, unfortunately.

@Moodre

Yes, there's a language filter you can set to only show posts in specific languages:

fedi.tips/setting-your-languag

It's not 100% perfect, but it should help hide a lot of foreign language posts.
