In the end it’s about money. If one had to pay for environmentally damages (e.g. a new tax on $energyUnit, $resourceUnit,…) and you’d not only pay for the resources + some markup for the producing company and just external externalize the “worth” of the damages (read: the taxpayer,…), then it’s cheaper to use these services instead of humans.

It’s encrypted anonymous communication capabilities.

Unless you enable it for every single chat (and IIRC only available for chats with only two persons, not group chats) there’s no encryption. Or did they change that? The only encryption that applies to most chats on that platform should be transport encryption via TLS.

Are there any cast-delays or such? Otherwise, you could just say I cast, as soon as they’re 30ft away

I’m donating to a few projects and also to some fediverse admins, whose instance I use.

I really like liberapay as a platform, but there are other ways I use for donations, too. Recurring payment is preferred for projects that are important for me, but one time donations are fine too. I just constantly forget that I should probably donate again for projects that don’t have a way for Recurring donations and they’re probably missing out…
