Reddit used to have something similar to health bar showing how much “gold” was bought to support the website. but later on out of greed they started using it as a paywall.

We can have a health bar that doesnt paywall ANY features and very transparently displays funds raised\used for a server. It can be used to display how much funds its being supported, how much server costs are, salaries for open source maintainers, mods, etc.

    Hard disagree honestly. There are tons of people who would be happy to support if they knew it was an option. I’m a software engineer but generally don’t access this on anything but phone because web is usually lower performance and I can’t pin it to my home screen. Native always feels nicer to use.
