For Lemmy.world a donation would help keep it alive without all the crap. Servers are cheaper then they were, but still not cheap.
OMG! Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
It's not easy keeping things up sometimes, but we're always looking for ways to deliver more for less, while still keeping things snappy.
It's hard, but without the community, we would just be some nerds with too much time on our hands 😅
Much love for y'all!!!
Yeah but on the other hand Lemmy world sucks and it would be good for the overall health of the Fediverse if they ran out of money and had to shut down. Give that donation to a smaller instance who actually needs it. World is already the biggest and they don't need to get bigger.
I don't think we should be wishing for the demise of the largest Lemmy instance. However, I definitely agree that focusing resources towards growing small and medium sized instances is good for the fediverse.
They're made too many bad decisions. The only reason people use them is they're the biggest, not because they have a good admin team or even a good gimmick.
