Yep! Donating to both their Open Collective page for Mastodon.World (didn't grab that link by accident), as well as their Patreon page for Mastodon.World works!

They have a note up on Patreon that donations there also contribute to World.Lemmy, as well as another Lemmy instance!

Here's the link to their Patreon; https://patreon.com/mastodonworld

I don't think it's wrong to keep questions like these in mind, it's great for information security and your privacy!

I'm with ya - no hate and no ill will to the hosts of any of these instances, but a cautious or informed user is a safe user. And safe users tend to mean user longevity on a platform! So it's kind of cyclical, the "safety> accountability> user" relationship.

Thank you for this! Just made the adjustment, I was starting to get a bit annoyed with the same top/ active posts showing for the last day

Holy shit, I hadn't stopped to realize your point there!!! Of course any AI scrapers would just start bit crawler accounts, if any of them weren't already doing that as well. Along with any other info scrapers out there - I can only think of the one example tbh
