    Sure it’s the people latching and trying to extract blood (money) from us the content creators.

    If Lemmy or Reddit was simply a list of shared URLs without user interactions no one would use these sites.

    The posters are the content, we are not your personal business platform, we are people wanting to engage with other people.

        No one is demanding they work for us.

        We’re demanding they don’t come here and demand money. If they don’t want to provide content for free like the rest of us, we don’t mind them not being here.

            No one is demanding them full stop. If you want to make us pay, we don’t want you. That’s an un-demand.

            I’m one voice of a community. As you can tell from many of the other posts in here, it seems to be a majority sentiment on the majority leftist Fediverse.

                Don’t be obtuse.

                Demand as in want, not demand as in order.

                We is the community.

                And the majority of the community agrees. My voices and theirs reflect that.

                The point is, we are enjoying free content without any advertising and monetisation slapped on. If that happens, then we just leave, we are not demanding free content, we just consume it because it exists. The donation model is the only one that works in this space, or this space fails as another attempt at capitalism where it wasn’t needed or requested.
