Some updates about Lemmy NSFW
Some updates about Lemmy NSFW
There are issues that have been on my mind for a few days, and I wanted to talk about them with you.
Downvotes
As you may notice, downvotes have been completely off for the last few days. I did this because I couldn't resist the pressure of some friends :/ I still don't know what to do about this. The majority of members probably want it to be completely open. As mods, posters and admins; some think it should be closed, some think it should be restricted (I guess).
I guess there is no solution that makes everyone happy. I realized I don't have admin skills in stressful situations, I'm a fucking stupid lol :D I miss @gabe so much.
lemmyposter212 suggested "fuzzy votes" or something that can work for us too. I think I'll just ghost this issue for a while.
Donations
As you know, all our donation accounts have been closed. Since it was my first time opening a site in the NSFW area, I had no experience. I reviewed some adult donation sites but most of them were shady. Honestly I couldn't trust them.
There are only coins now. But I guess most people don't want to deal with coins. It is because I didn't get any donations about 4 months now :D Those sent from Github Sponsor or Patreon were also returned to donators as well. I received $200-ish donations so far.
We are currently the 2nd largest instance in Lemmy. After lemmy.world, we're bigger than lemmy.ml and lemm.ee! I don't think it will work this way anymore. On an annual basis, I need to spend a month's salary for Lemmy NSFW.
Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem?

Monero for the donations and move the domain and instance to a host that accepts monero. Check out monerica.com to find some
Monero is cool but people avoiding crypto unfortunately.
It's a bit of a hassle to use if you don't otherwise, and I'm not sure there's any way to do no-hassle automatic monthly payments? At least personally the crypto stuff is a bit of a barrier for donations because of those two
Not everyone. Try accepting Btc, Xmr, maybe Ltc. Those of us that use it may be inclined to spend it.
Sucks that people let their anti-crypto prejudice get in the way of using an option that works. I made a small donation fwiw.
Thank you. It's bad that crypto doesn't have recurring payments. People want to subscribe it once and not look again.
