How much does it cost to run this website and who pays for it?

Maybe we should introduce a Hexbear Red subscription to help cover the costs

I’d join the patreon if I can get a cool badge next to my name, my posts and comments get automatically recommended, and I get the ability to ban anyone who dunks on me.

I would settle for a pigpoopballs button that you can append to a post like an upbear or a favorite, and have a sortable lists of ppb-worthy posts so people have to own their cringe.

if there is a patreon it should be mentioned on the donate page

if there isn’t a patreon that should also probably be mentioned on the donate page

Click the link at the very bottom of the page that says ‘donate’, idk why the link I pasted doesn’t work but it does from there.

From that link: https://liberapay.com/hexbear
