Additionally:
If you are open to non-monetary aid please indicate so in your post
If you wish to provide unsolicited advice/resources, then please make a separate post in this community
Other types of non-specific meta posts about other users may be made in the [email protected] community
If you have concrete evidence of something even remotely suspicious, do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of a moderator for review via direct message
We strongly advise you ask people to send you a direct message to obtain information regarding payment to prevent inadvertent opsec leaks.
Please consider posting once a day and editing the title of a mutual aid post to include [Covered] or [Need Met] when a request has been satisfied or goal met.
Consider not making comments about receiving large donations, or about what that money is spent on.
Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.
Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds ((Example)[https://hexbear.net/post/16574) along with other crowd or moderator-compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example), so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.
Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement, and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision if they should donate.
I am working hard on a book club over on /c/theory trying to help comrades read through Das Kapital volumes 1-3
It seems daunting, but is actually a finite slog that will definitely be accomplished provided you keep putting on foot in front of another.
So I'm trying to keep comrades motivated in any way possible. I was thinking some visual progress indicator like the mock-up attached would help motivate and stimulate comrades. Can anyone make such a thing for me?
Thank you.
It would update every week (coz it's a progress bar) so either I'd have to be able to do that myself in GIMP or by changing a parameter somewhere.
If the progress % can go up at the same interval (because everyone has the same amount of goals, 3 books) then I can make you 3 different bars to display (one for each interval)
Otherwise if you want it animated and to "slide" from 0% - X% when someone clicks done, then some coding will be involved and id need backend access to your platform.
You can also do it with CSS if it's in a web browser, here's a very easy example you can copy/paste:

This will give you a progress bar that's animated and you don't even have to make the graphic
W3 schools has a JavaScript version of this progress bar as well, but let me know which path you think is best here
