That was scary. Thought Lemmy had ads already!!

I’m fine with ads. It costs money to run servers and build out the platform.
I’m not fine with the absolutely sleezy way spez handled the api changes and the ridiculous price. Utterly disrespectful to the mods, third party app devs, and Reddit users.

I'd rather we all pay a few bucks to not have lemmy get infested with ads.
-
Problem is that such isn't a stable source of income.
Though I guess Wikipedia makes it work. So I dunno.

Yeah. I just surprised I thought reddit put ads on lemmy 😂

Just because things cost money doesn't mean that ads are the best way to pay for them, or that we have to accept advertising as part of the process. I ABHOR advertising, but I don't mind signing up to support someone on Patreon, like I'm doing with the developer of the instance I'm on.

I though I've had left.. and then spez tracked me down. Scary stuff indeed.

I will leave the second it happens. Crazy.

Mmm, I get the ideological stance, but servers do cost money.
I suppose donations are an option but can't imagine that being a stable source.
