oh that’s awesome! thank you for the recommendation!

I think we’re good for now. Thank you though! :-D

Never knew folks did that. That’s fun.

Yeah I think I’ll donate it. Thank you!

Thank you. I guess I’ll donate it and make sure they can repair it. Thank you! :-).

I suggested I rip open numerous teddy bears, sew them all together into a teddy bear suit and have the kids walk around in it. But she said that’s too creepy for some reason. :-D

US. I’ll pass that on to her though. Thank you so much! :-) <3

LOL that sounds sweet in one way and really not what we’re looking for in many many other ways. lol thank you though.

Awesome! Thank you for the recommendations! Passing this on to her.

I know Manta ray is an animal, but not sure if you’re commenting on that? :-)

I’ll pass this on to her. And we have a weight blanket on our bed, but it’s a bit too heavy to lug around the house. lol

I’ll pass this on to her. Thank you! :-)

Do you have any kind of links to weighted snakes? That sounds like a great idea.

Do you suggest a manufacturer or seller or anything?

lol but it sparked conversation didn’t it? :-) It takes all kinds and I LOVE our little weird piece of the internet. :-D

Didn’t even consider making one. Looking it up it definitely seems doable. I wouldn’t want metal balls really, but places recommend things lime hemp for plastic beads or something. Thank you for the suggestion.

When I say quality I’m not talking about like Hollywood. I’m more trying to talk about good, fun, no misinformation, NP hate speech etc. Right now I’ve funded this nonprofit myself. And I have so much I can put into it. I’m just trying to give folks choice as well. I talk with a lot of people and while I’ve been able to recommend platforms people kind of turn off if I don’t ha e a direct way to help them. And lots of folks don’t want to trust some random dude, but are more open when they hear it’s a real business.

As for charging for storage, I don’t know if we’ll do that. Right now my goal is to get people involved. Hopefully donations, or sponsorships or grants can help with that. It was one avenue of thought.

Any thoughts, suggestions, etc, I’m always open to hearing it. :-) Hell, the good luck is still a great start. Thank you. We’ll need it.

I already have some folks interested in joining. I didn’t want it to be attached to me as a personal entity, so no. I don’t think it’s backwards. You can’t ask people to come to a restaurant that doesn’t exist yet.

Maybe it is. I’ve never run a business. So this might all flop. But I have to try at least. I personally believe the Fediverse is the next evolution of the web. And we need to help it where ever we can.

It’s just an idea at the moment. I don’t know if it’s feasbile, practical, or even allowed legally. Hence why I have to talk to my accountant.

But my idea is to generate income either through donations, funding drives, sponsors in the banner, etc. Or to do like a service where you can upload X amount of videos for $/month.

Then once we’ve hit break even, assuming we do (yes I know this is a difficult task atm), to share the additional revenue with content creators.
