    Charge USD0.50 for every swear word posted or the reply won’t appear.

      This… is actually a pretty fucking good idea.

        Make it $.01 and you might actually have a good idea on your hands. Big enough to matter given the thousands of users, small enough for the average user not to care.

        The hard part is running a secure and private payment system on top of this.

            Feels like sarcasm, but I can’t tell.

              Nope. I’m no expert, but lightning network fees get down to something like $0.0003 and transactions are instant, it would be great for this sort of thing.

    I donate to them because i believe in the cause. Its $1 per month, so not like its breaking the bank. But if every user donated the same, they would have more than enough to cover the bills

    If you check out the opencollective link in lemmy worlds sidebar, theres a budget breakdown there. And how much they gain in donations.
