  Isn’t that a .ml issue, not a .world issue?

    Okay, but what if a dev on .world is a tankie? Who can risk their money going towards a functioning community website if there’s any chance someone I hate might cover rent and groceries?

      they’re referring to Lemmy developers, not someone using/running .world

        The comment you replied to is sarcastic. We should support tne good work even though some of that support goes to people we don’t like personally.

      Did you not see the breakdown of where the money goes? These aren’t being paid out to these people individually they’re not getting paid a salary. They donate their time. All the money goes to the functioning of the Fediverse and .worlds.

    Many lemmy communities give money to the devs

  I’m assuming that you’re referring to the Lemmy developers. FHF supports Lemmy development with a monthly donation of €50, same as we do for Mastodon development.

  If it makes you feel better, there are enough other people donating who don’t mind some or all of their donation amount going towards Lemmy development to offset your donation not being used for Lemmy development contributions.

  It’s not worth the effort to set up independent purpose-bound donation pools to separate donations from people unwilling to support certain people/organizations, as the end result would be the same, except a lot more maintenance/accounting overhead. Calculating with the current expenses of €1,700/month, this is less than 3% of the total donations we’d need to cover our bills.

    What a passive agressive response

    It isn’t worth donating if my money goes to .ml admins, any amount

      Are they tankies or fascists? Pick one.

      • SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Is there a difference? They both support fascist dictatorships.

    OR, crazy idea here, I know…

    Just don’t give money to fascists?

    I will not donate a single cent as long as it’s being split with that scum.

    If Lemmy can’t survive cutting fascism out of it’s development, than it doesn’t deserve to live.

      It’s not being “split”, they give a flat 50 € regardless of whether you donate 0 € to them or 1 million €. In fact if more people donate to .world this will, infact, water down the percentage.

      If the organisation had a monthly revenue of 1 000 000 € and gave 50 € to them, this would be such a vanishingly small percentage (0.005%) that it could well be argued to be negligible

  Lemmy world is engaging in denialism, silences users they deem inappropriate and bully other instances into submission by abusing their size and threatening de-federation. Their mods are biased and are pushing a narrative that get people bombed. Jordan Lund banned people from saying “from the river to the sea”.

  Death to lemmy world.
