Yet another reason not to use that stuff, as if we needed more

Would you be opposed to paying to use Lemmy? Someone's gotta pay them bills. Currently it seems to be donation focused, but that might not scale. So what's it going to be [email protected], ads, or a "premium Lemmy subscription"/tax/due/contribution?

Some run the servers with the expectation of donations. Some run them at a loss. Some of us selfhost.

There are all a variety of ways to keep Lemmy free, where as Reddit is hosted by Reddit. They decide everything about Reddit.
