To quote a popular hexbear aphorism present in this very thread, “‘Omg rude online’ like there’s no worse sin”.

If that were to become the enforced position of the entire dev team, I promise that I will donate, and provide receipts.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
Probably not - for me it’s more that the majority of my negative experiences on Lemmy have come on lemmy.ml, so the sticking point really is your involvement with it.
For a lot of other people in these threads though, it does seem like funding the hosting is the biggest deal. If the server costs for lemmy.ml are as low as you say, splitting off the hosting costs separately in some way (like taking donations directly from lemmy.ml that go into their own account separate from general Lemmy donations, for example) probably would see at least some sort of increase to donations to Lemmy.
If it wouldn’t be too much extra work, it’s probably worth a shot.

Person1, since you’re new here, this is Cowbee, our resident tankie apologist/propagandist.
The most reasonable-sounding genocide denier and authoritarian regime supporter this side of the gulags. I highly recommend their alt’s comments on Hexbear if you’re interested in their more “mask off” persona.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
That’s correct. People actively shilling for authoritarian regimes committing human rights atrocities, denying genocides, and aggressively silencing all dissent do not deserve it.
All they’d have to do is develop from behind the scenes and not actively contribute to one of the worst places on the platform, and I’d have no problem donating to them.
But they don’t, and so I don’t, and instead I get to listen to your whataboutism, literally the guy in the “and yet you participate in society” meme.

lemmy.ml is part of Lemmy development as it is used to test new versions before release, take performance measurements and have first-hand experience with the mod tools.
Then you really shouldn’t be surprised that people don’t want to donate when part of that support goes toward an instance that openly and aggressively supports authoritarian regimes and genocide denial, and brutally censors any dissenting viewpoints.
If I stepped away from lemmy.ml it would make Lemmy worse and cause more problems for other instance admins.
The other option, of course, would be to run lemmy.ml in a way that doesn’t actively piss off the majority of Lemmy users, but that doesn’t seem to be a path you’re willing to consider.
Honestly, as much as I disagree with your politics I’d probably donate anyway because of how great Lemmy is, if only you developed behind the scenes and weren’t personally responsible for one of the worst places on the platform. As it is, as long as both a) lemmy.ml continues to be run the way it is and b) you continue to have an active part in that instance’s abhorrent behavior, I can’t in good conscience give you any financial support.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
Most of Lemmy is fine - just avoid the tankie triad of lemmygrad, lemmy.ml, and hexbear and you should be good to go.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
No u.
Oh wait, you can’t, because even Reddit was smart enough to ban your asses a half decade ago.
- Comment on Lemmy needs more donations 3 weeks ago:
It’s not just the server costs - it also compensates the devs for all of the valuable time they spend censoring people on .ml too!

Uh, the tiny amount of info in that article is also in the video I linked - that Edison wasn’t a single-minded visionary, but rather a ridiculously hard worker who worked collectively with his employees to create inventions scientifically.
The video also goes into detail about how he crafted a public persona to make sure his shop continued to have access to funding to keep up his inventing.
Nothing in that article impugns Edison’s name whatsoever, so, combined with your posting history, I think we’re done here.
- Comment on Magnets 3 months ago:
Should be really easy for you to produce some of this evidence that he was a monster then.
- Comment on Magnets 3 months ago:
This is false. Here’s an exhaustively researched 4.5 hour video on the topic if you’re interested in what Edison was really like (an incredibly hard worker who was much kinder to his employees than was usual for the time, and who changed inventing from an art into a science).
