I somehow suspect someone at that shell of a company is experiencing a delightful amount of schadenfreude

    Would be interesting, but I’m not sure how you’d implement it in a federated system unless each instance sets up payment platforms. And it wouldn’t stop instances from giving them out for free

      That would really be great. For 2 dollars a month, you get one free daily award. That alone would solve the server costs.

          I like the concept of awards because it’s a nice way to

          • quickly identify really good comments
          • support the instance in a sustainable way

          However (this might be controversial), I’m not a huge fan of meme awards. Reddit kind of incentivizes people to write meme responses which kind of pollutes threads. Maybe we can dial back a bit on that.

            Honestly I agree. I think Gold was enough, though the extra meme awards probably bring in quite a bit of money
