Would the Beehaw community be interested in some pay-it-forward action? (beehaw.org)

Currently, we have $6,500.91 in our hopper.

It just seems weird having all of those, mostly, unused funds sitting there doing nothing.

I just wanted to start the conversation about the possibility of paying-it-forward in some capacity. For example, a certain percentage of monthly contributions could go to a charity.

What are your thoughts?

Mastodon, for example, would have far better moderation tools than lemmy. As for your concerns with "Adding more moderation hurdles", genuinely I feel recruiting more mods before and while you spin up a service is fine. That may mean you take time to pick them out and train them right. That's fine. But I don't think moderation challenges are insurmountable.
