Yes it will need to be redone.

Your “pointless Ted Talk” is greatly appreciated.
Would be interested in knowing what kind of future projects we’re thinking about?
Other than a potential matrix server, I do not currently have anything in mind. The future is unpredictable.
An example of a non-profit effort that I took on in the past is COVID PPE 3D printing with volunteer community printers. If something like that was needed for pandemic or disaster relief again would be nice to not have to go through the trouble of spinning up a new non-profit.
I think we can definitely work with Canadian Open Source Communication Association. Maybe swap out Communication for Community.
I’ve reached out to both the mstdn.ca admin as well as the CIRA.
Lemmy.ca is hosted on OVHcloud as they have a Canadian data center. If you’re not specifically looking for a Canadian server, there’s many other options that are priced more attractively.
I never had COVID until everyone stopped caring about it. I’m on my 4th time having now.
Do not recommend.

I’ll keep that in mind, and I’ve just had a realization, we can set up all the donation options and just not “cash out” until we’re determined non-profit status and how we’re going to set up the financial side of it.
Correction: “you cannot get any closer legally”
I’ve seen many people to over the fence. Not a great idea at all.
Thanks for the kind words! @Shadow@lemmy.ca has been amazing.
You guys are amazing and I’m more than happy with the subscribed donation I’ve given to your instance.
Just so you know with the transition to the new team all prior donation subscriptions have been cancelled and we’ve yet to set up a new system for donations.
We’ll let you all know when we have a new system up and running right now but it’s not high priority as we’re well funded for at least the next 6 to 9 months if we don’t have explosive growth.
I’m in favor and willing to help
That’s the plan!
The current funds are enough to operate it at it’s current capacity for ~11 months. Once we get to accepting donations again and figure out how to set up our accounting, I would definitely like to see a growing contingency reserve fund built up to be ready for future unexpected growth or unexpected slowdown in donations.
We will continue to be transparent in a similar format to this but split the remaining balance in a operating fund and reserve fund.
It never even made it to the members. Their caucus voted it down. That’s a really strong signal to the employer that they need to do better.
Thanks for the kind words. We try our best, and we owe a lot to @smorks@lemmy.ca for setting the right tone got the instance to start with!
Pretty much every instance was having federation issues with lemmy.world due to their server just being overloaded. It’s significantly improved but I’m not sure if it’s 100% perfect yet.
I love this idea. Thank you, we will do that.
!canada!canada@lemmy.ca probably isn’t going to be the best place in the long term

25k+ users, we do practically zero moderation. Surprisingly it’s pretty damn civil and great.
