I think this should be prioritized in order to help with the insane growth and associated costs of Rexxit.

It may not make sense for 100% of proceeds to go to Lemmy devs, but something like 70/30 or 60/40 split (in favor of the instance host) would be a great idea to help us support the scaling effort.

Edit: I guess I’ll take my L. This seems to be a pretty unpopular take, and I understand why. We’ll see where things end up in a few months when these suckers start getting actually big

    Absolutely not. I hate that pay to win bullshit. We shouldn’t be pushing for monetization that encourages or creates any sort of “premium user experience”. That’s corporate bullshit. Paying for the service should improve the service for everyone, not just for yourself or for some comment you want to feel superior to everyone else by “paid upvoting”.

      Then limit rewards to posts. And I specifically did not mention a subscription service for that reason.
