Yeah well, I'm already an investor on the fediverse, by donating to my instance admins, and the instances I support already break even. It pays back handsome returns on my investment not by extracting value, but by providing a community that respects its users instead of monetizing them. That is the only investment I'm interested in.
I mean, it sure makes sense. If they're getting the server costs and effort to maintain and moderate, happy to drop a few dollaridoos now and again. Less ads to block as well, which is always nice.
Yep. As soon as I set up my lemmy account I set up a recurring donation. I don't want anything for free I understand things cost money, spez is the one trying to monetize other people's unpaid labor
