Reddit migrator here (shocking, I know)

Just wondering because I found out about all this yesterday and just realized the ammount of independent servers, but no sign of any ads or sponsors. So… is it all based on donations?

Also don’t just lurk, if you know you should answer because lemmy only counts users who posted or commented as active users.

      It will probably never be. Because it is never intended to be a platform for profit, but a (finally, real) place for everyone to hang out. Where everyone contribute content, money, code, and/or time.

      It is really pretty grim to think that we are conditioned to think that our internet NEEDS to benefit a corporate and its millionaire shareholders.

        I never thought about it like that but you’re absolutely right. It’s a shame everything is about money. But oh well, I guess such is capitalism
