25k+ users, we do practically zero moderation. Surprisingly it's pretty damn civil and great.
I mean... They'd be kind of silly to accept a 2% increase in wages when inflation is much higher than that. That's not a raise that's a pay cut
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.
Non-Profit Registration: Name suggestions.
It's been on the back-burner for a bit but it's time that I get on it and register our operation as a on-profit organization. We will be registering under the BC Societies Act. Completing this registration will allow for opening up a bank account under the organization's name and reopen donations and have the previously donated funds transferred from @[email protected] to the organization.
To this date since taking over operations of Lemmy.ca I have personally covered the costs and have not been reimbursed to keep accounting as clean as possible. This will continue until registration has been completed.
First step to this is picking a name to register the Society under. Requirements for the name can be found here.
While the initial main purpose of the society/organization will be operating Lemmy.ca we would prefer a name that would be fit for operations of other open communication platforms as well as other potential projects that we may want to participate in in the future. Something somewhat open ended.
Please give us some suggestions and we will take the suggestions under advisement when picking a name.
Further information on non-profit registration in BC can be found here.
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 really don't believe their story that they are going to actually have enough crew available to have every single vessel in the fleet sailing.
I'll believe it when I see it

I'm just curious, any reason everything you post seems to be from the paywalled WinnipegFreePress.com?
I'm getting an uneasy feeling about that.
It’s not a massive complaint, but I’d hope “m.lemmy.ca” would be reserved for something more OS agnostic.
Yup. I get what you're saying now. It doesn't fit indeed. And yes m.lemmy.ca will be reserved for something more OS agnostic.
Average amount of on the job training a driver gets when hired is probably half a shift. You're expected to know and be able to do it without any additional training.
I think that's totally wrong and bullshit but that's what's going on out there. Where I work it's 4-6 weeks full time for a driver with experience, 6 weeks to 10 weeks or so usually for a new driver, we've had at least one do 6 months+. We're a definite outlier tho and probably do the most on the job training out of any trucking company in BC.
There was no need to capitalize the word ‘grammar’
I'm going to blame that on using swipe/gesture typing. I definitely do know it shouldn't have been capitalized. Honestly though I'm surprised that's the only thing you found considering English is my third language.
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.
I'm curious why you say that. Seems to work fine on Android in browser.
Just do it every day if you really want to still be active on Reddit.
There will be a huge drop off to drop as part of the transition process to the new admin team we have paused donations at this time.
We're on the fence if we want to accept further donations before registering as a not-for-profit to avoid any of the funds having to run through my personal bank account.
We asked him to stick around for as long as he wants in whatever capacity he wants. Good to have his input for a longer transition period so we can carry on his way of doing things.
