I think Reddit gold can be benign, but let's not exploit FOMO plz. That's how we got loot boxes and micro payments.
How to do "Reddit gold" on Lemmy, in a non-exploitive and ethical way? That would be the rub.
The real danger isn't on Lemmy.World, where I think the money would go where intended. The real danger is incentivizing people to spin up small instances in the hopes of collecting.
That won't work. I have 340k users on my servers and it just covers the running cost. So with a 100 user instance you would get peanuts.
I guess the cross server implementation would be difficult. If you buy credits on lemm.ee, and gild a lemmy.ml user, who honors it to... not show you ads?
I guess it's mostly just a decoration thing to support the comment/post and the server. Still, which server displays which awards could get thorny.
Great point, this will happen instantly.
I would say, through activity, not through paying. Then for activity they will get rewarded.
