@oloco @Matter @RiderOfGiraffes we have Patreon for the instance, the fees are pretty low. We did have LiberaPay, but the charges a significantly higher than Patreon.

We cashed out, due to the ongoing issues they're having, and we're charged 17%. That may be because of the relatively small amount we were caching out (around $25), but it's still a ridiculous chunk to take.

@HexDSL I'm not trying to say what you should or shouldn't do, you do you. 👍

@LibertyPaulM

@HexDSL it's not like it's an add for shampoo or something completely random though is it.

I'd use the term "trailer" rather than "ad".

@LibertyPaulM

@HexDSL @LibertyPaulM the article clearly states (1st paragraph):

"video ads for other Netflix series between episodes."

So what? I personally think it's a good thing, as it could help me discover some of the other brilliant content that they have.

@jalcine haha what a coincidence!

@Wimpress @Matter little more info here:

@Matter I don't believe so, I think it just places a banner at the top of the user profile. @Gargron can probably clarify that more.

@Wimpress

@Wimpress was just listening to the #UbuntuPodcast and heard you talking about lack of community users on your instance.

Did you know you can sign up for a different instance, then mark your previous account as moved so you currently followers know.

It's done in the edit profile section, right at the bottom. 👍

@danyspin97 I already downloaded it and I'm giving it a try.

@blunaxela

@mike @Indie SILVER FOX! 🦊

@Indie @mike to be fair, my tends to be stubble rather than a beard. Grew ones once...it was VERY ginger. 🙂

@Indie it's cool - my phone is out of battery now due to all the @mike notifications. 😂

Hey Michael, that's very kind of you, thanks! We have Patreon and PayPal, we did have LiberaPay until they started having issues. We're still on the hunt for more open alternatives.

@blunaxela you know, I've never actually played minetest, I'm sad to say. I should really try it one day.

@aadilayub @socialskeleton I'm sure there's probably a way, but I haven't explored it.

@alexcleac still catching up on stuff. Sooooo many new users/followers. 😁

@alexcleac maybe I'm the only one haha. I think of it like Lego for computers. I don't play often, but I like how easy it is, and the fact I don't really have to think.
