because mastodon.social obviously is the mastodon server with the worst funding and it's definitely not small instances that could need some more money to pay for infrastructure, moderators, etc /s
just call your app mastodon.social if you want it to be a mastodon.social client, jesus christ. it's almost as if mastodon isn't even meant to be a federated server software
how about this: server info could include a donation link, and this donation link could be displayed in the app as "support instance"
@megalodon we do not want to do this because it opens many potential ways to be abused and have people sending money to bad actors, all through « official » apps, and will get us banned from the stores
@renchap @megalodon maybe a "reputation" for instances should start to be calculated so the ones that surpass a threshold can benefit from features like this.
@santiagofn @renchap this sounds like a bad idea tbh.. so the small instances (that would benefit the most) wouldn't benefit at all. also, there would need to, again, be some authority on which instances' donation links should be allowed, which would probably lead to injustices
@santiagofn i think @renchap's concern is very valid tho - maybe, if apps were to display arbitrary donation links, a should also be included
