Just saw this by chance: Donations and Patrons for Lemmy development surged massively on Liberapay in the last weeks!

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 shouldn't pay those tankies imo
Yea we heard , so please fuck off now? Reddit is a perfect utopia for you.

We get it, you hate Lemmy as a platform. You try so hard to make it less appealing by splitting discussions on posts by reposting stuff needlessly. Really makes Lemmy look even more unoriginal and boring seeing the same posts 3 times in different places all the time. Then you spearhead some movement to try to get people to not donate to Lemmy development at all, making it harder for these people who are trying to make Lemmy their life's work to be able to even survive. It's actually gross.
Weird how if you are an asshole to your users it makes them into enemies.
I joined Lemmy with every intention to contribute and make a significant donation as well. But after getting banned and dogpiled for daring to say things like "Russia shot down a civilian airplane" and "the ML theory you are referencing does say what you claim it says," I'm also here to say the fediverse will be better without cringe keyboard warriors like Dessalines and transphobes like Nutomic being involved with it. There are other projects to support.

You can still donate to Lemmy without supporting ML! From https://threadiverse.link/lemmy.ml/post/29579005:
Update: For those of you who want to support Lemmy development without financing the hosting of lemmy.ml, know that the hosting is paid exclusively through OpenCollective. You can see the payment details at this link. This means donations through all other platforms (Liberapay, Ko-fi, Patreon, Crypto) are exclusively for Lemmy development, and not a single cent goes to lemmy.ml hosting.
Edit: Liberapay is the preferable donation option, as it has very low fees and is also open source.
This is a bold lie that Nutomic keeps pushing. These donations go directly to Nutomic and Dessalines. The servers are not the problem. The problem is the admins who happen to be the devs.
