The latest blog post about our .world and the Fedihosting Foundation. As you can read in the blog, the donations are no longer covering our running costs. If you are able to spare a few Euro’s or dollars or whatever currency, please check the list of our donation platforms in the blog.
Edit: I will add these to the blog: https://bunq.me/fhf (for EU bank transfers) https://github.com/sponsors/Fedihosting-Foundation (Github Sponsor)
Is there a guarantee that none of these donations go to the tankie dev?
Isn’t that a .ml issue, not a .world issue?
Many lemmy communities give money to the devs
Okay, but what if a dev on .world is a tankie? Who can risk their money going towards a functioning community website if there’s any chance someone I hate might cover rent and groceries?
Did you not see the breakdown of where the money goes? These aren’t being paid out to these people individually they’re not getting paid a salary. They donate their time. All the money goes to the functioning of the Fediverse and .worlds.
they’re referring to Lemmy developers, not someone using/running .world
The comment you replied to is sarcastic. We should support tne good work even though some of that support goes to people we don’t like personally.
I’m assuming that you’re referring to the Lemmy developers. FHF supports Lemmy development with a monthly donation of €50, same as we do for Mastodon development.
If it makes you feel better, there are enough other people donating who don’t mind some or all of their donation amount going towards Lemmy development to offset your donation not being used for Lemmy development contributions.
It’s not worth the effort to set up independent purpose-bound donation pools to separate donations from people unwilling to support certain people/organizations, as the end result would be the same, except a lot more maintenance/accounting overhead. Calculating with the current expenses of €1,700/month, this is less than 3% of the total donations we’d need to cover our bills.

It’s not being “split”, they give a flat 50 € regardless of whether you donate 0 € to them or 1 million €. In fact if more people donate to .world this will, infact, water down the percentage.
If the organisation had a monthly revenue of 1 000 000 € and gave 50 € to them, this would be such a vanishingly small percentage (0.005%) that it could well be argued to be negligible

What a passive agressive response
It isn’t worth donating if my money goes to .ml admins, any amount
It’s morally wrong to give money to people who use their platform to spout fascist propaganda

Are they tankies or fascists? Pick one.
Is there a difference? They both support fascist dictatorships.

Yes, there is, otherwise why even use words if they carry no meaning?
What is the difference?
Same lol

Tbh, for me idc. Better a tankie than a fascist. And better an ancom than a tankie.
Whichever tankie allies with ancoms to fight the fascist, is my friend.
But, indeed unfortunately, a ton of self-proclaimed tankies actually are fascists.
Meeting in the middle only ever seems to benefit right wingers.
I’m done doing it.
Good point. It’s time the dicks meet us in our real middle, not their fake and disingenuous perception of a middle.
