As you may notice, downvotes have been completely off for the last few days. I did this because I couldn't resist the pressure of some friends :/ I still don't know what to do about this. The majority of members probably want it to be completely open. As mods, posters and admins; some think it should be closed, some think it should be restricted (I guess).

I guess there is no solution that makes everyone happy. I realized I don't have admin skills in stressful situations, I'm a fucking stupid lol :D I miss @gabe so much.

lemmyposter212 suggested "fuzzy votes" or something that can work for us too. I think I'll just ghost this issue for a while.

Donations

As you know, all our donation accounts have been closed. Since it was my first time opening a site in the NSFW area, I had no experience. I reviewed some adult donation sites but most of them were shady. Honestly I couldn't trust them.

There are only coins now. But I guess most people don't want to deal with coins. It is because I didn't get any donations about 4 months now :D Those sent from Github Sponsor or Patreon were also returned to donators as well. I received $200-ish donations so far.

We are currently the 2nd largest instance in Lemmy. After lemmy.world, we're bigger than lemmy.ml and lemm.ee! I don't think it will work this way anymore. On an annual basis, I need to spend a month's salary for Lemmy NSFW.

Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem?

What about a patreon?

My home instance uses opencollective.com to manage donations. Idk much about it butt maybe that could work?

Open Collective is ok but we need a fiscal host in it that allow us. I have applied to some of them but no positive response yet.

I'm against disabling downvotes but I'm not that bothered by it.

I did come here to point out that the alternate UI links at the top of the page don't work.

If you can find a way to take money via credit card and not crypto, I'll be happy to donate.

Might have to become the first Lemmy instance with ads 🤷‍♂️

what was the problem with donations in the first place? also couldn't use something like epoch payments ? Why not do something similar to fet life, where they promote in the very right side, but we will promote with posts, 1-2 posts per page with an ad, in worst case scenario. Maybe we should charge OF models? /Joke

Regarding downvotes, I want to mention the incident, where I posted SFW in my community and got downvoted, and then some users went over !womenwithwatches@feddit.de and downvoted couple posts!
Are they crazy? nuts? they have nothing else to do, but find certain posts and downvote them ? lol

Downvote should be used to bury things that dont fit in a community, until the report takes place! If you use it to downvote every post you dont like, its pointless!

edit: I just found this one https://www.wishtender.com/, its mainly used from findom people but could work.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned subscribestar.adult as an option for donations similar to patreon

Excuse my (possible) naitivety; but where are specific subgroups within this server? So can't folks post specific content to those subgroups?

If you're a dude posting your dick, post it to "dicks@lemmynsfw"

Or if you are posting your pussy, same thing, put it on "pussy@lemmynsfw"

It seems to me that if people are doing that, then when people subscribe to a subgroups, they will end up seeing what they want to see.

Or heck, create a subgroup "dicks&pussy@lemmynsfw"

Just trying to think about how to create a situation where upvotes / down votes are less critical to users.
