I've been thinking about doing a statistical study of the #Fediverse funding model. Like for e.g. what are the different ways servers on the Fediverse are financed (associations, companies, donations, personal finance, etc.).

Do you think it's a great idea and it does interest you?

@retiolus I do not get it, what are you asking exactly? What do we think about what?

By the way, neither “yes” nor “no” is a valid answer to a question that starts in “what do you think”. 🤔

@elessar changed the question, you're right

@retiolus My guess : you are wondering whether or not it is useful, worth it or a good idea for you to do a statistical study.

Correct possible answers would then be e.g. :
* good idea / bad idea / I do not care
* useful / useless / I do not care

The thing is, I'm probably going to have to set up a site of my own to vote and only allow one administrator per instance to vote using Mastodon authentication. I realise that doing this with the ENTIRE fediverse will be more complicated...

I'm think our cluster of servers (norden, nrw, colgne, etc) are individually run, out-of-pocket, with minimal subsidies, and donations.

As I understand it, *most* servers in #HephalumpWorld are run like this.

I'm not sure on that, and likely wrong.

Either way, I try to slip my server a little somethin' when I can. It's not much, I'm poor. I wish I could do more, but you know how poverty works.

I encourage you to tip your server, as well.
