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.

This whole thing has been a “getting old” moment for me. I had no clue just how many people were only accessing the internet through a phone.

most is done through mobile

oh, the horror lol

I use both, but don’t bother with social media on my desktop. Phone access feels nicer to use and requires less context switching, since I don’t have to swap between desktop and mobile interfacing.

Besides, I use a computer all day for work and for my side projects: I need to get up and do things outside of my office, which requires mobile access
