    Absolutely! Server donations are good for a single instance but I think a service that allows users to purchase gold/awards and awards the particular instance (with funds) that they get used on would help fund the Fediverse as a whole. I imagine implementing something like that would not be simple but anything is better than injecting ads.

        I think it should be totally anonymous though because otherwise you go down the road of users with special avatars and good knows what

      implementing something like that would not be simple

      Especially with the idea that an instance a user calls home/registered on would have to be ok with allowing a donation link to go to the instance that the user you’re “gilding” is on
