MODERATORS
This gives out the impression they don't care about lemmy being open source and decentralized but rather they are at it for a piece of the cake
By running a server on donations and barely breaking even? I'm not sure I'm following the logic here, this isn't a corporate controlled website beholden to board members and advertisers
So the guy that runs lemmy world for free without ads as a hobby with a group of volunteers are all narcissists because... they use discord? This sounds like a pretty incredible leap
Reddit mods also work for free as volunteers. Don't underestimate internet popularity and power over communities, not so many days ago there were stories about mastodon instances admins getting invited for talks at meta. Lemmy is an open source and decentralized alternative to reddit, using discord for announcements misses the whole point
And what is the point of that? Providing you with free servers and labor for their hobby? I think you all really need to get a grip, its a website not a government.
