SirQuackTheDuck, 10 months ago to technology in Elon Musk admits X 'may fail, as so many have predicted'

Weed out all the bots at the same time by demanding fotoID

Fuck that, you’ll also exclude most EU countries since that’s an overreach of privacy.

If it kills Twitter and Meta get a hit at the same time, it’s only a win.

Please chat along in !LemmyFund, I’m trying to get something going where instances can get shares of donations for server usage.

That should beat paid-for federation a little bit.

Hello, I made a community for it, /c/lemmyfund, feel free to join there! I’ve written some stuff down on GitHub as well, a link is in the community.

Hello, so, yeah, that’s the gist of it.

You sign up, and on the cut-off date the system should at first check what instances you’re part of and divvy up the shares, and later on we can dig down and slice up parts in more detail.

I’m starting to work out a concept for funding servers a little differently. Since the Fediverse / Lemmyverse is not just one server admin, but a bunch of them, I want to run an experiment to see if it’s feasible to make a subscriber based, or even activity-based calculation of how to dice up each user’s donation.

It’ll all be just a proof-of-concept at first, maybe it works and it’s legally possible too (biiig if), then it could work something like a FOSS funding system.

It’s just in documentation phase now, figuring out what would be a proper algorithm and such, but if you’re wiling to think along (or talk me out of it), please send a dm.
