Or alternatively, they could stop doing what they're doing with .ml and loads more people, including myself, would probably start donating towards development

understand that means that the devs might have to move on from Lemmy development and prioritize other work.

Oh I do, the way I see it there are 4 paths

  1. they eek out just enough donations despite their constant merging of personal politics and their work and nothing changes

  2. They turn over .ml to a less biased admin team that will actually keep things fair and deal with the propaganda /misinfo (Unlikely)

  3. Lemmy development stops, and a new team without all the baggage takes over on a fork

  4. Lemmy development stops and PieFed or other alternative fills the gap

RN they're asking for donations, but refusing to deal with the root issue directly leading to such low donations.

This. Literally just keep your tankie bullshit to grad and this wouldn't be an issue.

Problem is, not only is that impossible, they actively don't want to. They're the alt for grad and bear users, intentionally acting as a cover for them. The entire point is proselytizing.

I don't really care that they're running .ml. It's fine if it bothers you enough to not donate to them, that's your business. My SO is never going to agree to let me donate to Lemmy, so I'm going to see if I can eek out some time to learn the codebase and contribute that way.

Why the hell do you need permission to spend your money?

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 20 points 3 months ago

Because it's our money for the whole family, and we carry the scars of having had to ask for credit card limit increases to buy gas to get to work to pay the credit card.
