So you recommend Lemmy? Personally I like it so far too. Totally unrelated fun fact… Lemmy also has sponsors. Are you gonna leave Lemmy now? opencollective.com/lemmy

That OpenCollective page doesn’t list any corporations, it’s community funded. Biggest donation of all time is 2.8k freedoms. Nutomic is a bit of an asshole, yes, but Lemmy may continue without him regardless in case of anything.

So accepting sponsorships is ok until a business donates or someone donates a substantial amount? And at that point you have to stop using Lemmy?

Until a business donates, yes. I will be skeptical of Lemmy the similar way I am of Linux. Someone may make yet another fork, although I could try one of the many existing ones. It’s not my first account anyway, so I am used to migrating.
