I'm really sorry to ask but at this moment my gf and me are personally still 274 euros short for rent this month 😟 :sad_cat:
It been a rough month.. Luckily all server bills are paid for so thats the biggest part ❤️

Please, tell me how “paying for hardware costs is enough”…
We have done before, but don’t do that often, so we don’t bother users too much.
But we might do again soon, and maybe do a monthly post on the mastodons/sharkeys etc
Thank you for confirming that 5€ is enough to cover twice the hosting costs, and thank you for your sysadmin work on LW!
While we are talking, there have been occurrences of “power tripping” by some LW mods (e.g. https://lemmy.world/post/23229045/14411568?sort=New) , is there any mechanism to escalate this to you?
Phrased another way: “I don’t think you are allowed to make a living out of the work you do here, so thank you for accepting all this for free”.

Sending e-mail to info at lemmy dot world would be the best option. The team will pick that up.
(By the way: 2 EUR per year would be enough if every active user would donate that but they don’t)
Thanks, I might send an email later.
Indeed. Have you thought about promoting this in an announcement post?

Sounds good. db0 started to add flairs, including one for donators, maybe that’s something you can consider as well:
