Or alternatively, they could stop doing what they’re doing with .ml and loads more people, including myself, would probably start donating towards development
understand that means that the devs might have to move on from Lemmy development and prioritize other work.
Oh I do, the way I see it there are 4 paths
-
- they eek out just enough donations despite their constant merging of personal politics and their work and nothing changes
-
- They turn over .ml to a less biased admin team that will actually keep things fair and deal with the propaganda /misinfo (Unlikely)
-
- Lemmy development stops, and a new team without all the baggage takes over on a fork
-
- Lemmy development stops and PieFed or other alternative fills the gap
RN they’re asking for donations, but refusing to deal with the root issue directly leading to such low donations.

This. Literally just keep your tankie bullshit to grad and this wouldn’t be an issue.
Problem is, not only is that impossible, they actively don’t want to. They’re the alt for grad and bear users, intentionally acting as a cover for them. The entire point is proselytizing.
