When you ask there is always a solution. I have to thank this one for coming in the form of @foxon who commented on my post giving this suggestion.
Since a lot of us medium range creatives are now getting flagged on any posts that do well, making it harder for us to evolve, yet we still have made lovely connections here and spent time building with communities that we want to stay connected to and building towards. Here is a positive suggestion we could try. Thanks @foxon for this wonderful idea. At the bottom of our posts we can put a link to a buy me a coffee site. I just found the one I’ll link below. People could go to that link and support us with a coffee if and as they feel we are being unfairly downvoted by the new ‘undervalue scheme’ or just get some additional skills from us like commission art / music / photography etc.
This allows those that wish to support people who are getting flagged on the platform to. Same with the animal charities etc. We can stay connected to them and their posts and build with them whilst offering this as an alternative along side. If we wish we can donate the money we raise if we don’t feel like keeping it anyways. Or we can change it to crypto and donate it, but whatever we choose it’s our choice.
I just created an account on this platform.

Maybe if we create accounts and link them at the bottom of our posts it gives us a way to be empowered to actually support the people who add value to our lives and the causes we want to do well. It’s not a perfect solution but it seems like something that could really help us all share value with each other whilst still maintaining the connections we spent this time forging and support those we want to.
