Word. The large instances are well funded at the moment. I think the funding is lacking on the developer side. Subscribe if you can. I have. :)

Frankly, given the conflicting priorities and attitudes of the two primary Lemmy devs compared to the needs of instance admins, I'd rather the better-funded instances pooled some of their excess and funded an independent contributor to work on mod tools, GDPR issues, and other things that operators are concerned about that have been backburnered by the current devs.

Wasn't there some guy who wanted a total of 8 dollars to fix the GDPR issue and they didn't get funded? Something tells me the operators aren't too concerned

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.social 7 points 8 months ago

Yeah no, after seeing how they treat their users and mods.. I'll stick to funding my instance.

[–] danhab99@programming.dev 5 points 8 months ago

TBH I'd be willing to pay $1/month. If every Lemmy user did that I think it would be plenty to keep the servers hot.

I'm on Lemmy.ml, so I've been donating €10 monthly for the past year to dessalines!

Might as well just send the money straight to Putin's propaganda department.

Who’s the Chad that donated a whole 15 ETH to that addy 👀 — https://etherscan.io/address/0x400c96c96acbC6E7B3B43B1dc1BB446540a88A01

Yeah I'm definitely not gonna donate money to people who are publically and proudly communists.

I might donate to my local instance though. They seem like cool cats.
