Hey folks!
I’m writing this because funding for the Lemmy project has dropped to critical levels, which could seriously impact its future development.
Thanks to the generous support of our lemm.ee community, our server infrastructure costs are covered, and we even have a few months of runway. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed - lemm.ee wouldn’t exist without your help.
However, infrastructure alone isn’t enough. Our servers run Lemmy software, and without ongoing development, the platform cannot grow or even be maintained.
Lemmy is an open-source project with many contributors, but the vast majority of development work has been carried out by a small group of core maintainers. A few maintainers work full-time on the project, relying solely on donations and occasional grants to support themselves.
I’ve seen Lemmy development up close, and the maintainers have consistently gone above and beyond what I consider the standard for small open-source teams - they are constantly writing code, mentoring contributors, and keeping everything running. Their work is essential, and without continued support, it cannot be sustained.
If you value Lemmy, please consider supporting its maintainers directly. Every bit helps.
Please check out this post for more details about how to support the maintainers: https://lemm.ee/post/63034576
Thank you for reading, I hope you have a great weekend!
If not supporting genocide and authoritarianism is a high horse to you, you might want to invest in a step ladder.
They support Israel?
chill, there are arabs settlers in syria and iraq as well and pashtun settlers in afghanistan
you act like only theocratic zionists are settlers
What the fuck are you even talking about? Are you lost?

Again, are you lost? OP said lemmy devs support genocide, & since the largest genocide today is perpetrated by Israel with US support, I was curious what OP meant
What the fuck does your comment has to do with lemmy or Israel? You seem confused
Amnesty International investigation concludes Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza
The Sassanids ffs? You seem very confused about the relevancy of certain topics
actually the largest apartheid state is afghanistan since it’s gender apartheid
the longest and largest one is actually of minorities in muslim majority countries, but it is undeclared because of less coverage
sudan is currently the biggest and longest ethnic one
I could go line by line, but the main point still stands: are you lost? Do lemmy devs support the Sudan genocide? Are lemmy devs Taliban?
You are just terrible at communicating your point
You wouldn’t know what a genocidal and authoritarian regime looked like even if you lived in it you reddit-brained hack
Hexbears gonna hexbear.
No lie to detect so the crypto white supremacist pulls a Hillary Clinton “omg rude online” like there’s no worse sin
Have you considered that you don’t deserve unconditional positive regard?
Go back to reddit
Why are you in a lemm.ee specific meta post commenting though? Given the context this comment is so fucking funny.
No u.
Oh wait, you can’t, because even Reddit was smart enough to ban your asses half a decade ago.
…and then they came here, why did you follow?
Because your reddit overlords think saying killing slavers is equal to installing a fascist regime in the United States
Sounds like a perfect “enlightened centrist” right-wing hell for you to jump back into
Go back to the hole that brought you to this world.
Mean thing to say about your dad’s bedroom
