I don't like the awards but I like the idea of tipping - in a private and indirectly helpful way. Specifically, being able to send a small, "that was awesome" note to the poster but directing the money to the poster's instance. The problem is that I expect it to be corrupted and monetize servers/instances to generate revenue rather than simply defray costs, which would be a net negative for the fediverse overall.

In the end i think payment for content in any form will imbalance the system. I've already donated to one of my two instances and will do so for the second if the owner starts allowing it (they’re currently not accepting any donations). We should all be responsible enough and just let our upvotes be upvotes.
