  • Well, I set myself up for this, didn’t I… 😅 Actually I was kind of hoping for a more specific question, as I would need to respond with a wall of text - and I would like to avoid that as it is kinda rude to force people to read so much and it makes discussion difficult.

    So maybe 3 options:

    1. Wall of text
    2. You have a more specific question in mind to rephrase
    3. I try to summarize my wall of text, but I might not get the point across



  • I commented on the cross-post, but I thought it might be interesting for others in this thread. The product basically fits the requirements very well:

    Unfortunately, the mouse is only sold in a keyboard/mouse bundle, but the “CHERRY STREAM DESKTOP RECHARGE” bundle might be something you would be interested in. Both keyboard and mouse have replaceable batteries and these suckers are built to last. The mouse is little bigger, so def. have something in your hand and it has super silent buttons. I especially like the type-feel of the keyboard. I am normally totally I to mechanical keyboards, but I can totally tolerate typing on it. 😉

    Edit: Oh, and I forgot. You can recharge them with a USB-C cable. They also use off-the-shelve NiMH rechargeable batteries that you can get almost everywhere if you want to replace it in the future.

    (Disclaimer: I work for Cherry, but IMHO it is still a very good product for the price. )












  • This would incentivise instances to keep growing, as more users would potentially mean more income. I don’t think that this is a good idea as it conflicts the decentralized nature of the fediverse.

    I would suggest that we promote donations more. Seriously, nobody is talking about that stuff.

    Furthermore, “money” doesn’t always fix a communities infrastructure issues - people do. Most of the time, admins are a one-person-army. If people would take over work (like moderation, implementing helpful features in code, …) more often, that might help out the admins more than just throwing money at them.

    It is the same as with a lot of open source communities: It’s not all about the money, it’s about people getting active and involved and helping each other out.
