Give your money to any other product or service
If they want money for Lemmy then they can step down or stop being shitty mode
God, no. If Lemmy today is gonna be all spam of the shitheads begging for money then I guess it's closer to death than I thought
You guys read like bots when you do this, have you no self-awareness?
"Ooh, someone said something about Taiwan, generate a short sentence about it that's entirely unrelated to what was said!"
As it says there, you can to nutomic, but they're famously a massive transphobe who claims that trans people are western propaganda (Id forgotten that until I read the comments on the post I linked)
I've said it off platform for a whole - Lemmy's a waste of time because the devs are garbage people the community actively hates. Unless someone forks it or the current devs hand it over I don't see Lemmy making it much further than this tbh. I kinda expected them to give up on the project from all the mass hate they got a while ago, but part of what makes them annoying is how stubborn they are lol
and is therefore counterrevolutionary bourgeois propaganda. Us Marxist-Stalinists only support authoritarian socialism
You don't see the problem with openly admitting you're a horrible person?
but also mentioned that donations for development go towards server costs for .ml. Hell no.
Having taken donations for similar shit before: isn't that illegal if they aren't open about it? Had I done that with my donated money I'd have been sued out my fucking ass
Generally, yes, but they're also a wee bit authoritarian on some things, so people get maaaaad
They allowed a blatant troll to post often and repeatedly for a looooong time (think they finally banned their ass, tho)
Is the crazy tankie still the one who's get the money?
Then lol, never
Oh, and apparently donating does to the .ml server costs, too? Idk how true that is, but hell no if true and gross how much this is getting spammed around
Holy shit you're fucking stupid dude
You appropriate the language of a minority group
It's a medical term, homie
Then when actual member of that group comes along and tells you you're not using it correctly, you double down and try to tell them that you know their own language better than they do.
When you're wrong, you're wrong
This isn't gatekeeping.
Yes, it is. You are just wrong on this and look stupid
An instance is, it does not have to be theirs or run the way they do
