Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

The one time payment to remove ads is 20$.

People are really overblowing the price. As other ppl have mentioned, lemmy is less than a fraction of the user base of reddit.

The 4x price increase isn't crazy. Devs need to make a living. I talk to Lj every now and then on Discord. Dude has been scrambling since the Reddit shut down to get out a working product. I really don't think it's price gouging to spend 20$ for an app I'll be using for maybe 30-mins to an hour almost every single day.
