How do people feel about donating to keep things running smoothly and making sure there are adequate resources and compensation for those involved in running .world instance?

I’m curious as I think this kind of rapid growth will be the first time the model is really being tested - as in, large rapid growth in users and activity resulting in sudden higher running costs.

I feel transparent engagement would be good to understand what the current costs are, how that scales and how people involved in keeping things running are fairly compensated for their time and effort.

Also having an issue tracker, roapmap etc public and real engagement let people see who and what they are investing in.

It’s an awesome job to see the server still standing after such a huge influx!

      Ah!

      You have two options:

      I go through Patreon, as I also contribute to a local news site and to the Mastodon developer team (… and so I can snoop in their Discord, which is Patreon only). I believe there is a preference for OpenCollective as a platform of choice.
