I have seen many a democratic initiative ruined by trolls, bot accounts, duplicate accounts, and assholes. The best way to ensure that democracy doesn’t spiral into Haiti is to allow only financial contributors of $5 or more to vote (once the boss man has his contributions system up and running). You want to help build this community? OK, then put your money where your mouth is. To be clear, it should still be one vote per person, whether you donate $5 or $500.
Fantastic idea, money being involved in democracy has always worked out to benefit the average person.
Fuck the poors, they should have no voice in our community. What, you can’t afford the price of a cup-a-coffee? Begon.
First vote afterwards? This is now a paid instance. I don’t even want to see those plebs.

Nay…optional donate to vote. I will be donating, but not everyone who deserves a vote will necessarily be.
Nay
I don’t want to associate my account with my money, and enforcing this would require that. I prefer to donate anonymously.
Nay - no paywalls. This server should survive because its a nice place, not because people pay money to have a day in its operation.
Nay, this idea is fundamentally against the values of this instance.
