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?

    Does the lemmy project have a foundation like blender or godot? Might not be big enough

    Some charity donations would be cool, maybe each month a different community could vote for a charity

      Yeah but doesn’t beehaw want to move away from Lemmy? Doesn’t seem like it’s in their best interest.

        …behave want too nice away from Lemmy?

        ^^^ Brand new sentence!

        We are discussing moving Beehaw off of the Lemmy platform, yes.

          I’d rather Beehaw didn’t leave Lemmy outright; but I can hardly fault anyone for looking into other alternatives and spinning them up alongside the current Lemmy instance, getting that new thing up and thriving and then slowly migrating away from giving Lemmy so much attention.

          Hmm, maybe some forum platform would be a good alternative? I feel like the Reddit format of Lemmy focuses more on news, rather than the forum format which is more about deeper discussions… Just an idea.
