Fundraiser: AMA Podcast September 20, 2024 4:32 PM Subscribe
As part of the events for this year's fundraising we'll have an Ask the Mods Anything Podcast.
Drop any burning questions you have below we'll have them answered with an especial podcast.
If you want to know more about the ins and outs of the MeFi team, their philosophy, want to know more about them as humans, or have any burning questions about anything else; you’ve come to the right place!
Just drop your questions here (questions can be anonymous) and wait for the next post to vote for and decide which questions get to be asked during a podcast with Jessamyn and myself.
Now, let’s take a minute to talk about the fundraiser. You can read more about it and ask any questions you have in this month's update, but so far, we have raised 17% and 8% of our original goals in one time contributions and new subscriptions respectively.
Why do we have a Fundraiser?
Our community is mostly run by member contributions that help us pay for web hosting, moderators, web developers, and initiatives like rebuilding the website and the work of the BIPOC Board; and, while the site’s finances are stable, we want to give better resources to the MetaFilter Community Foundation to help them achieve the goal of becoming a truly member-driven community.
How can I help with the fundraiser?
– Sign up for a subscription that will give you early access to test the new MeFi Website.
– Spread the voice and contribute to our GoFundMe Campaign.
– You can invite your friends to join our community.

We've had so many members pass away over years, and MetaFilter was such a big part of some of their lives, that if ghosts are real then you'd think we'd have some of them hanging around on here.
I have no idea what a digital haunting might look like on MetaFilter, but on Facebook, people sometimes have stories about old notifications about dead loved ones' activity randomly popping up in their new notifications feed months or years later.
