There’s two “full time” Lemmy developers, and one of them just added a repeating dialog box that will pop up regardless of instance asking for money to be sent to his and another lemmy.ml admin’s personal accounts as a salary.
This will not take effect for a while, most large instances take a long time to update because their releases are full of bugs and need fixed by volunteers before rolled out to larger instances.
The reason many of us came to Lemmy from Reddit is the decentralized nature, and the fact no one could really control.
If the creators are holding Lemmy back, it’s worth discussing why the larger instances don’t make a full fork independent of lemmy.ml admins
