@fosstodon Would you consider adding some sort of Patron badges to user profiles? Some sort of small, non-physical incentive?

@apetresc we've discussed that lots of times, but unfortunately, it's not possible without a huge amount of work.There are GitHub issues logged on the Mastodon repo to add such support, but they haven't had much traction, last I checked.

@apetresc here's the issue - https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/5380If you want to see this implemented, go add a comment, see if we can get the dev team to move on it. 🙂

@fosstodon Are the 53 patrons mentioned in the post in Patreon only, or am I included in this figure, as someone donating via Liberapay?

@fosstodon Interesting. Does anyone know if @Gargron is philosophically opposed to such a feature?If not, I might file a PR for it myself.

@totoroot that only includes people on Patreon. It's VERY difficult to find who'e actively donating on Liberapay as it shows people who give 1-off donations too.

@fosstodon @martijnbraam You can have a look here for a general view of the infrastructure https://masto.host/infrastructure/ and I can share some numbers about the resources used by Fosstodon (if the admins allow obviously) but it's hard to give you an actual hardware usage (besides disk space) as resources are shared.

@fosstodon Do Liberapay donators also get MatterMost access, or is that a Patreon-only perk?

@fosstodon Ok, thanks for the answer! :)Perhaps I'll register on Patreon and move my donation there.I just thought Liberapay would be the preferred way to go, as they don't have fees for donations 💸

@apetresc it’s open to anyone who donates. The problem with Liberapay is that it’s anonymous from our perspective, so we have no way to validate who has donated.If you can email us some proof (receipt etc.) we will be happy to add you! mail@fosstodon.org

@fosstodonI'm under the impression that librepay actively discourage one-time payment (and don't provide a mechanism for it either, unless you manually cancel support), since they want the recepients to be able to count on a steady revenue. That being said, I wish they provided a means "flush the buffer" when making changes. I updated my contribution from $10 to $20 /year but it won't pay out until the next scheduled time based on the previous charge.@totoroot

@fosstodon couldn't quite get this sentence:So we earn approximately $130/month from Patreon and Liberpay, but we pay out $115/month in hosting charges (breakdown here). This leaves a huge $15/month in lieu, and that’s assuming we don’t have a spike in traffic, or need to increase our hosting resources.Are you saying the margin's too small? Maybe you should make that clear "This leaves a *small* $15/month in lieu" or something 🤔
