Dont forget the instance operators who actually keep the servers running. Donations keep instances up.

    Don't just say how much you love them. Donate to your instances monthly and make it easier for them to be sustainable.

    And if you can, send some money their way. This place runs on donations.

    Its because of Lemmy being built by pro-genocide, pro-authoritarian, anti-trans communist Republicans.

    So someone else would work on that massive project unpaid? :)

    Someone with much worse skill levels too, most likely.. And for how long would they think it's fun? Open source is like a full time job for a project like this. You have to be unemployed to do it.

    I dont care what the devs believe politically. I'm grateful for their software. I dont need them to be Americans or to like the west. Because I understand they grew up in a very different society than most of us did.

    Tankies aren’t republicans. And I am pretty sure they’re not pro-genocide. Or pro-israel, for that matter.

    The ones here on the fediverse support Trump and Putin, the ones in Beijing provided the guns and funding for the October music festival attack which began the war on Gaza. Image attached:

    LOL. Dude, you are either disingenuous or clueless and I can’t decide which.

    Being anti-Zionist isn’t being antisemitic. Facts don’t care about your feelings. Democrats have been just as bad, if not more in favor of Zionism as the republicans have been.

    But we are changing the party.

    Thank you to all the developers and instance administrators! 💓

    (Shame on those who stir up controversy for ideological reasons, seeking the worst in people who dedicate their time to improving the technology that enables the use of an open social web! 👿🤬)

    Thanks, Lemmy folks! I have been, and intend to continue to be, intending to put up a server.

    I'm sorry, in advance, for what is going to happen to all your hard work, as Reddit craters and all the oligarch bots start coming here to manipulate the populace / control the narrative.

    As I've been saying since Usenet and Slashdot; it was good while it lasted.

    They're already here. If someone tries to fight with you unreasonably, leave a clarifying comment and let it go. They're not as prolific here, but if you spend any time in news or politics communities, you've seen them.

    I'll keep repeating this: When people will stop caring about the "convenience" of mainstream social media and move to the fedi, whe can destroy the entire world economy and build something fair where creators can live of their art and content. Everything is ready, thanks to the hard work of thousands of devs, and people wont lose anything from what they enjoy from social media, they just won't be a product anymore for the techno-fascist tech giants.

    Yes but how do we make it into the mainstream?

  • source

    by making that choosing an instance is easy

    i think it maybe by a automated quiz which asks you basic stuff and you get the answer

    It's not like Mastodon; there aren't superior communities. Outside of hexbear or .ml, there's no meaningful difference between lemmy.social and lemmy.zip you just join one and follow what you want of all the options.

    The part the general public isn't ready for is curating their own feed.

    There's no AI shoving things at you so you can doomscroll. They want that.

    There's also no ads paying for the servers, so we keep is small and enough of us dontate to keep it runnings.

    You get a couple million twitter/reddis assholes over here burning server costs up with not donating shit; the nice, quiet, pleasant community we have goes to shit.

    Don't borrow trouble.

    People should give the most money to the Lemmy devs but I think most is actually given to the largest server admins.
