I agree on trying to get more server members to donate. But I do have a potential problem with badges for reg donators. Even if it comes with no other reward than a badge, that could become a status symbol. And that could have an effect on social ecosystem.

I do think a more visible donation button is a great idea. It would be a constant reminder, and ever avail. Admins can also regularly post donation requests, and one and done thank yous to reg supporters.

@feditips My worry with a badge is that it could be something a donor lords over others (even just verbally). Or a boon that admins could coerce from donors for more. [And these are kind of "assuming the worst" cases].

But, if the badge could be obtained with even the lowest possible donation, that could mitigate that, significantly. Less so if there are tiers of donations.

@feditips Anything for #Linux or Linux mobile platforms?

@Gargron Happy birthday! 🎊

@feditips I miss it being called Local. That is my first TL to go to when I arrive. And it makes it feel like I'm part of a small neighborhood or small city, be for I head out to the big city, or the whole world.

@feditips I would ask if we would call the #Fediverse a "macronetwork"?

@Mastodon thanks for the hard work!

@feditips
I know you not the dev, but to say in general: I hate that one would have to dig to get to the local timeline on the app.

It's the TL i keep up with the most, and didnt like having to sift throu that each time.

@Gargron Congratulations!
