MODERATORS
Your comment has really been buried under all that spam. Didn't think I could redeem it 16 hours later. Thanks a lot.
Yeah.. on PieFed.world we can see who downvoted..
Pretty sure you can on Lemmy too as Iโve been banned from a community simply for downvoting something in it.
Mods can see who voted on a comment/post, but not users afaik
Ruud is a mod (and admin)

I see your preferred donation platform is euro based, do you get good $ to eu exchange? or shoul i go patreon?
Payments are handled by Stripe or Paypal for both platforms so that doesn't matter
Saved, upvotes and commented to find this post easier
!taneggs@lemmy.ca proudly offers support. Pikas love grass roots!
Y'all do great work. Best of luck on the donations!
Why are users going down? Is the fediverse in danger?
afaik the decrease in users has mostly been on mastodon.world, where the suspected reason is to a large degree requiring registration applications to prevent spam bots. this seems to scare off a lot of users unfortunately. i'm not involved in the mastodon stuff, but afaik there is currently no system similar to what we have on lemmy or piefed to automatically accept applications after certain checks were successful.

In total the fediverse is stable or slightly growing. ActivityPub is how fediverse instances exchang information. More and more platforms are getting stood up and there are also a bunch of instances of those platforms.
Platforms are things like Friendica, Lemmy, Mastodon, PeerTube, Funkwhale, Hubzilla, Misskey, and now Pifed. Instances are things like lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.
This approach was intentional. No single platform or service controls everything and if someone starts misbehaving it's easy enough to go elsewhere.
That's not to say there aren't downaides. We have a ton of communities for similar topics on different instances and/or platforms. Each of these communities need to be moderated, have an active user base, etc.
Is there a guarantee that none of these donations go to the tankie dev?

There you go. But I really wonder why ko-fi needs e-mail. Had to go rummage around for the mail associated with this account. Almost stopped me from donating.
Bare minimum KYC (know your customer) to pay lip service to the idea of preventing money laundering. This will be the case for all payment service providers. If you're in the EU, a bank transfer is trivial and avoids middleman fees.
I'm not able to help out as volunteer at the moment since I just started with a new job, but might be able to help some time later. I've donated something for the "various small resources" and will be increasing my monthly donation amount.
