#[tantek][manton] re: Fediverse report on Fediforum. I tend to agree with the criticism tbh for $40. We have done $5-10 for IWC/IWS in the past I believe but that was also an in-person event and we provided people with stickers or maybe t-shirts partially funded from that. There's no need to charge $40 for an "open" community (source, project, etc.) event
#[tantek]This: "Any potential for exclusion is more harmful than having no-shows. Multiple people that have contributed to the fediverse felt not comfortable with this system, and thus did not participate."
#capjamesgI didn't participate in large part because of the price.
#capjamesgThere were only a few hours left and it didn't feel worth it.
