Am I the only one who'd have no issue with ads in lemmy? As long as they dont use too much space. Amount in ads in RiF was good for me, don't know if they earned much from it.

Money could go to app creator and instance owner, i don't care, as long as it helps running the community.

ah, rate limits. something twitter was absolutely blasted for but makes sense here because we love lemmy :) even though it serves the same purpose.

Wouldn't be surprised if Cloudflare itself was hiring out blackhats to DDoS attack certain websites in order to get them into the fold, like racketeering. I mean this is America, I wouldn't put it past any company here, even ones pretending to be "virtuous"
