First you can explain why some people are so obsessed with lemmy.ml that they keep posting about every little thing that happens and even organize a "boycott" (lol). Personally I completely ignore all the politics communities on Lemmy, it's much more relaxed this way.

That's specifically development funding. The hosting cost/funding is separate on an instance by instance basis, most likely the majority of funding comes from whoever owns/operates the instance.

It's written, so it's libel in the USA. Not sure where you are or if it's different.

Are you trying to pull a Regina George, or...? I think it's pretty clear why people abhor your instance when everyone's getting a piece of it from the very admins.

Anyway, we're not talking about that. You said it was slander, and there you have it, it turns out it's not.

you're forgetting about hosting, administration, and moderation! Don't forget to donate to your instance folks

There are other projects. Lemmy isn't the only activity pub app.

I don't know what other people said. My problem has always been that the donations pay for Dessalines to be everything he claims to hate about reddit.

Why are you making this up when you can literally go back and reread our conversation? I'd do it myself just to copy/paste the whole conversation here, but it was on my lemm.ee account and in the lemmy.ee "Lemmy needs more donations" thread so I can't access it anymore. Feel free to do so - I have nothing to hide.

Being this disingenuous isn't winning you any points.

Edit: Hell, I'm the one who gave ground here. My original stance was that you needed to give up all association with .ml entirely, and I backed off of that position when I heard how necessary it was as a dev instance.

I'm practically bending over backward here to give you money, and you just won't let me.

Look man I rlly don't like the tankies but I still think its okay for a couple hardworking devs to get by. They're not getting rich from this.

People keep acting like these people need to be boycotted as if they were Jeff Bezos or something. It's just some devs working on this shit out of the good in their heart.

where do you live that 4k between multiple people is considered wealthy

Dessalines: is an asshole to people.

People: "We don't like you."

What part of this is confusing to you? Dude literally won't post off .ml because he can't handle any push back or criticism without having the banhammer ready.

I'm not a lawyer and people don't speak English in my country. So I don't really care how it works on another continent, as long as you get the meaning.

I hate tankies, but I think Castro had great socialist policies to provide good education and healthcare to all. It's silly to assume something from simply appearances and profile pics because that would be dumb as fuck

You can import your Lemmy settings, which are the subscribed and blocked communities, instances and users, and saved posts as well

Turns out the difference did not, in fact, become very small

But who is people?

But....
That is the exact opposite of what the comment asked for

assuming your numbers are correct:

4250,39 $ ÷ 41425 MAU = 0,1026 $/MAU

60,86 $ ÷ 1629 MAU = 0,0374 $/MAU

edit: formating

Both of those things demonstrate the same point:

Lemmy has more funding per user (or, similarly, fewer users per dollar) by a large margin

you can import/export the settings from lemmy to piefed.

whines about politics, yet has account on extremist tankie instance of politics. you're no better than conservatives to be honest, they use the same exact denial-speak.
