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.

            there are all kinds of interesting ways to help monetize these servers, i am def a fan of discord style “extras”

              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.

    Not going to happen…but it would be kinda hilarious if the Reddit crap led to a reemergence of Digg.
