If Reddit back in the day had asked a few dollars for me to stick with using 3rd party apps using the API I would have. But they did the opposite, so here I am. First time actually donating to something, a measily $2 dollars a month, but hopefully a start to fund some of the free stuff I use.

The server sidebar has an uptime stat. Could also have a simple monthly costs covered percent stat.

I appreciate you pointing this out. Today is literally my first day on the job after 5 months, but I'll throw some cash their way after a check or two.

If you're thinking of something like $1-2/month, also consider doing a 30 dollar 1 time thing (it saves on transaction fees) and you basically just paid for 2-3 years of donations.

Since there's only github as a donation option, there are also other admins who can be sponsored through other means e.g @recursive_recursion@programming.dev has a Libera Pay account which allows donation without giving M$ more traction.

It would be nice if there was something for annynomus donations ( you need to login to github ).

fwiw headscale is pretty easy to self host and has minimal system requirements.

We should support our fediverse admins and instances 💪 Support by sending money (for people who can), moderating content, submitting issues or helping the team and project ✌️

Is programing.dev a lemmy instance, or a piefed one?

no. you're trash.
