Chris<p>Hey folks! I’ve already asked our customers about this, but I’m curious to know what the Fediverse thinks too.</p><p>So, here’s the question: In which currency do you prefer to pay for a subscription? </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/Subscription" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Subscription</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/CurrencyPreference" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CurrencyPreference</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/Poll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Poll</span></a></p>
Chris Brooking<p>My "Scientific American" subscription is coming up for renewal. I'm trying to decide whether to renew it on the basis that they are critics of Trump or cancel on the grounds that it would be supporting America. This is made harder because I see only two viable alternatives, **New Scientist** which doesn't have the detailed articles, or **Nature** which is excellent but costs nearly three times as much!</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ScientificAmerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScientificAmerican</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/boycottusa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>boycottusa</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/subscription" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subscription</span></a></p>

Matt<p><strong>Steal this postal idea</strong></p><p>I was thinking about how much fun it was to get mail as a kid. These days, it is all bills and Kafkaesque forms from the government, which gave me an idea.</p><p>What if there was some sort of inexpensive subscription service where you got a nice or fun letter in the snail-mail post each month? Maybe customised for you in some way. Perhaps also some postcards from random parts of the world.</p><p>Perhaps when you sign up for a year of nice mail, you could opt in to a postcard exchange. Opted-in people would get their postal address added to a handful of nice letters with a prompt to maybe send them a postcard. Thus, subscribers would get nice things by post from the service and also from other people who like sending cool local postcards.</p><p>For added niceness, opt-ed in people could get a birthday mention. Or put on the postcard part of all the letters.</p><p>Something like that anyway. There would have to be an opt-in component because I’d not be happy sharing my address otherwise.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/letters/" target="_blank">#letters</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/mail/" target="_blank">#mail</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/post/" target="_blank">#post</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/postcard/" target="_blank">#postcard</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/subscription/" target="_blank">#subscription</a></p>
