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.

Sorry I talked with many dozens of people about this topic and dont remember what you specifically said. In my head it all got mixed together into a single conversation.

The way I see it, funding for Lemmy development is an entirely separate issue from the moderation of lemmy.ml. The moderation for an instance should only be decided by its local admins and users. Imagine lemmy.ml users going around and saying that lemmy.zip must change this or that thing. You would tell them to mind their own business, and with good reason.

I found your reply now, here it is. You were asking for lemmy.ml donations to be separate from other donations. This was already addressed long ago, see here.

Of the two us us Dessalines is the one who needs funding the least, he was fine with the previous donation amount of 1000 Euros per dev. Im the one who created the call for donations because I have two small children to feed. So whether you donate or not isnt going to change Dessalines' mind at all.

Thats a character from "Mean Girls"? Never watched that series. Those who abhor lemmy.ml could simply ignore it, there are plenty of tools available. Instead some people spend all day complaining about it. Seems so pointless and exhausing when they could do something useful with their time instead, and post about things that they like.

It seems a lot of people especially from the US are still suffering from red scare propaganda. Anyway its just an avatar to give a human face to my online accounts without using my real face.

Where am I whining?

Yes, the movie Mean Girls. Regina tyrannizes the whole school, antagonizes everyone and she's all, "why are you so obsessed with me"? Like, gurl, why do you think?

But like I said, I was only replying to you about the slander. We wouldn't have those receipts if people didn't post them when they happened in the first place. But my question is, if the whole point of Lemmy is to have the transparency that Reddit lacks, why are the admins discouraging people from looking, painting it all as an obsession?

Raise your hand if you've been personally victimized by Lemmy.ml
