Embed Notice

The Fediverse has no ads and no trackers. Each server is independent and paid for by its owner and by donations from the server's users.
.
It would be nice to encourage more users to donate, and perhaps part of that could be an optional special badge on people's profiles to show they are supporting their server?

Such badges would help raise awareness that servers depend on donations, and might also attract more people to become donors. Maybe they could have fun designs?

There's already an open issue for this on Mastodon (albeit quite an old one). If you think optional supporter's badges are a good idea, give it a thumbs up so that the developers know you want it to happen:

➡️ https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/5380

I don't agree with every detail in the issue's original post, but the general idea is a good one ?

And obviously it would be nice to see issues like this on non-Masto Fedi projects too.

(Thank you to @JohanEmpa for raising this issue)
