    Idk if this is some misguided insult or a legit question.

    There is zero need for monetization and corporate bullshit to infiltrate Lemmy. People see an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a newer social media and are quick to stink it up with the same old shit. Fuck that, I’m sick of it.

    Lemmy does not have to be a carbon copy of the worst parts of the internet to survive. It is not a requirement to be a reddit clone or a cash generator or be profitable to be usable.

      How do you expect your instance to cover its costs, then?

          Turns out you’re actually the owner of your home instance. I didn’t know that when I made my previous comments.

          I’m guessing you’re currently paying for your instance’s upkeep out of pocket? I can’t spot any donation links on your instance. This might work for you personally, but do you really expect other, larger instances to do the same? Even donations are only rarely sustainable.
