How do people feel about donating to keep things running smoothly and making sure there are adequate resources and compensation for those involved in running .world instance?

I’m curious as I think this kind of rapid growth will be the first time the model is really being tested - as in, large rapid growth in users and activity resulting in sudden higher running costs.

I feel transparent engagement would be good to understand what the current costs are, how that scales and how people involved in keeping things running are fairly compensated for their time and effort.

Also having an issue tracker, roapmap etc public and real engagement let people see who and what they are investing in.

It’s an awesome job to see the server still standing after such a huge influx!

    This! They provide estimates of the cost as well as current income so you get a sense of how bad/gold off they are. Just donated this morning.

      I set up via Patreon which doesn’t have those details - that’s awesome!

      I wonder if the Patreon income is accounted for in this somewhere?
