It would be for more than just photon, a serious longtime instance. with the $400 dollars i was donated (wtf) i can more than afford this.

Would you want one?

Doesn't seem necessary to me. I say treat yourself with that money, don't spend it on us!

I agree. It doesn't seem necessary and I personally wouldn't use it (since I self-host).

Plus based on what I'm seeing over at Lemmy.world... running an instance can be non-trivial if it gets popular. Not sure you would want to invest the time and resources on that rather than developing Photon itself.

What do I use the money for then? I can't just pocket $400 without giving something in return.

Continued development on Photon would be giving something in return.

I can't speak for everyone, but I donated to thank you for the work you have done and to encourage you to continue improving Photon. That would be enough for me.

This project is the most popular I've ever made, no plans to stop anytime soon.
