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!
I’ve seen the idea of a “reddit gold” being thrown around - eg you pay to get a post or comment a different color or effect and the money goes to the instance admins
I think that awards would be cool. People on Reddit seemed to really liked it.
