Don’t know what the exact cause was/is for this big surge - but I am glad to see it. No matter what personal problems people may have with the main devs, they are doing great work on the platform.
Also of interest, since this is a good place to plug things, other threadiverse things:
And I couldn’t find a way to donate to mbin, in lieu of that:
https://docs.joinmbin.org/contributing/
EDIT: The creator of mbin gave a link in the comments: https://melroy.org/donate.html
This reminded me that I wanted to support. Just did a yearly payment. Thanks for the amazing work guys! I can’t believe a just a few people can maintain such an amazing ecosystem. One day people will understand that, in 48 hours, we could destroy the entire gafam system and replace it with a fair alternative: the Fediverse and FLOSS.
They could probably get more people if they didn’t promote Russia’s attacks on Ukraine and advocate against trans rights.
I mean, why are you here if that’s what you believe? Lemmy is much more than .ml
I’m here exactly because ml doesn’t represent us. Hopefully those losers lose so much funding that they abandon the project and somebody else picks it up.
Even if nobody picked it up that would still be better than paying those .ml dictator-cocksuckers.
Yeah, and I’m donating so we can all be here. I’m not on ml, I don’t share most of their view, I want to support Lemmy development as a whole.
Then don’t donate to those two listed above. They run ML.
You run your mouth, that’s about it. So not donating to the Lemmy devs is how you support Lemmy? Back to reddit please.
